Forêt Aventure in Vercorin: treetop adventure and ziplines at Sigeroulaz
Fancy climbing through the trees as a family, above Vercorin? At Sigeroulaz, reached by cable car, Forêt Aventure rolls out its treetop adventure courses and ziplines in the high-altitude forest. Thrills, height and fresh air guaranteed, from the moment children are 110 cm tall.
High in the treetops, above Vercorin
At Sigeroulaz, the intermediate station of the Vercorin cable car (around 1,680 m), Forêt Aventure sets up its treetop adventure park in the heart of the high-altitude forest. There are several courses of progressive difficulty, a series of ziplines, a 13-metre “Quick Jump” and a climbing wall. Securely clipped to your harness, you move from platform to platform, across monkey bridges, nets and lianas. A real vertical adventure, in a setting of fir trees and Valais panoramas.
What your children will discover
Children progress at their own pace on courses suited to their height, from the easiest to the most challenging. They learn to move safely at height, to cheer each other on and to overcome their little fear of heights. The highlight for the older ones: the Quick Jump and the ziplines that whizz between the trees. An activity that builds confidence as much as it builds arms.
What you do and the atmosphere on site
You take the cable car up to Sigeroulaz, put on your harness and follow the safety briefing before setting off. Staff fit the equipment and supervise participants. The atmosphere is sporty and cheerful, in the cool of the high-altitude forest. Nearby, the Marmot Trail and the restaurant let you extend your mountain day.
