Adventure trail

The Lac Bleu forest trail lets you climb trees as a family, up to 15m high in complete safety (120m zipwire, Tarzan leap, nets, etc.).The Aventuriers du Lac in Haute-Savoie have concocted a great programme that will take you high into the trees, to race through the treetops just like the squirrels. The treetop climbing trail in Morillon is in the ideal spot between the leisure complex and beach and the left banks of the Giffre. Nature lovers have three trails with different levels to choose from, to explore through the roots and treetops. European security measures are respected, all equipment has been checked and approved and a team of qualified instructors is on-hand, for a top-quality leisure activity guaranteed. After a quick briefing about the safety rules and how to use the double safety system, all that's left to do is put yourself in the footsteps of Tarzan and choose the itinerary adapted to your height and physical ability. The little ones from the age of 3 will have great fun on their very own trail at a height so that parents can assist them. There are two fun trails for children from 7-10 years old, 5 metres off the ground, in complete safety thanks to the continuous lifeline attachment system. For children over the age of 11 and adults, things get a bit more serious with around sixty obstacles to cross, winding through the branches. Flying over the water (2 times 120 metres long) is definitely worth the trip. And if you get stuck along the way, it's possible to get help and reassuring advice from the team members and it's possible to exit the trail. Treetop climbing is a great way to see the sights from up above, in the shade of the foliage, along an above-ground climbing course. The Lac Bleu forest trail is great for climbing up in the trees as a family, from 3 years old, up to 15m high. (secured by a continuous lifeline attachment system and a 'clic-it' non-detachable carabiner). Cross the lake on a 120m zip wire! Little adventurers: 1 metre off the ground, from 3 years old. Adventurers: 5 metres off the ground, from 6 years old, trail secured by the continuous lifeline attachment system. Great adventurers: 15 metres off the ground (zip wire across the lake), from 10 years old, trail secured with smart 'clic-it' non-detachable carabiners, for maximum safety.
