When mountain enthusiasts and climbers take an airing

High ropes courses are a fantastic alternative to via ferratas. They lead the climbers, who in most cases do not have to have any prior experience, along a course made of artificial obstacles. The special highlight about it: This climbing world, built by using steel elements, wooden beams and the like, towers a few meters above the ground and sometimes even at the height of multi-story buildings. That is why the participants are always well belayed and must strictly follow the general rules of conduct on the course. It’s great fun because the various types of exercises such as scrambling, swinging, hanging over and balancing challenge both the body and the mind. The emotions at the end, when you look back on the test of courage you passed, are truly priceless.
