Forest Ropes Courses

The majority of commercial climbing facilities or adventure parks still use traditional climbing safety systems based on Klettersteig/self-belay procedures, leaving it up to visitors to verify that they are correctly tied to the safety line at all times when climbing. When it comes to multi-parcourse layouts, self-belaying relies on two carabiners, which must be disconnected from the main safety line after finishing one course and reattached to the succeeding course's safety line. These transition moments are the most dangerous for visitors, especially children.

Self-belay is a risky business!

Climbing mishaps occur practically every year as a result of visitors mistakenly detaching themselves from the safety system by pulling both carabiners from the safety line at the same time.

What are ECO forest climbing parks?

Outdoor entertainment amenities, the ECO high-wire forestparks. Climbing parks, which were once only found in forests (as a stand-alone feature), have now become a part of a variety of outdoor recreational centers, as well as local or regional Health and Recreation facilities. High rope courses in forest adventure parks are made up of a series of activity paths of varying difficulty levels. Climbing parks thus offer a diverse range of stimulating outdoor activities for almost everyone - from children to adults, individuals to families or groups of friends, those who enjoy the occasional physical activity (or simply want to try something new for a change) to those who exercise regularly.

If you're looking for a thrilling outdoor activity, a high ropes course climbing forest may be just what you need. Skywalker is a leading ropes course builder that can help you design, construct, and maintain a course that meets your specific needs and budget.

Forest High Wire Parks. A unique concept. A unique design. A unique experience.

Experience nature. Turning outdoor activities into a unique experience for visitors of all age groups is what makes your high rope activity course or forest adventure park a public attraction. The key requirements are premises of an appropriate size as well as the integration of the climbing facilities into their natural surroundings on site.
Blending in with nature. The use of natural and eco-friendly building material and matching visual design principles ensure that the climbing park becomes an integral part of its environment.
Keeping trees healthy is paramount. Our concepts include annual inspections and treatment of the trees by a certified tree specialist, a central data base containing all site-specific vegetation-related data and the pre-examination of the trees by ultrasound tomography prior to the installation of the climbing park.
Advanced technology. Our R & D department is one of the best in Europe when it comes to "dynamic" designs. Our concepts take into consideration the natural growth of the trees that serve as the platforms for our activity courses, allowing for a continuous adjustment of the parcours thus preserving the health of the trees.
We won't compromise on qualtiy and safety. We only use high quality building material which comes at a price. However, the return on this "initial" investment are large visitor numbers, a high degree of customer satisfaction as well as an increased customer loyalty, which, taken together, ensure the profitability of your climbing park in the short and the long term.
First-rate inspection and maintenance services. The continuous operational reliability and safety of your climbing park is guaranteed by one of our comprehensive maintenance contracts. The terms of our contracts can be entirely tailored to your specific requirements regarding the frequency and extent of work to be carried out under such an agreement.

The "Green" Anchoring Device. ECO-friendly technology.

Our "tree-friendly" anchor gear (tree mounting / tree strapping system) for forest high ropes, which has been used by climbing park designers all over Europe, is one of Skywalker's "green" technical solutions. Unlike traditional systems that use multi-layer steel cable coils, this eco-friendly mounting device is based on a collection of specifically designed brackets that can be continuously adjusted to the ongoing growth pattern of every tree that is part of the course supporting structure.

However, the Skywalkers' anchor gear (tree strap system) offers more than just environmental compatibility/friendliness: The system is simple and straightforward to install, requires very little maintenance, and is comparable in price and longevity to traditional methods. Furthermore, TÜV has verified the system's use in many parks, ensuring the operational safety of any climbing park that uses our environmentally friendly solution.

We not only use our tree-friendly mounting method in our own climbing park designs, but we also sell our system to adventure park and climbing course designers all around the globe.
