The Adventure Forest |
|
The longest adventure track in Switzerland: 12 tyroliennes slides, 4 of them being more than 100 metres long! |
|
In the heart of the mountain pasture Sigeroulaz above Vercorin the Adventure Forest invites you to experience new feelings in full safety. You will move at your own rhythm from tree to tree challenging various obstacles such as: suspension bridges, lianas, tyroliennes slides, etc. Two runs will allow everybody to find his or her own level of emotions:
The long run is for younger people from 1.40 m and for adults. More than 2 hours effort between heaven and earth with increasing difficulties but it is always possible to overcome the most difficult obstacles. You will anyway go back to the ground with a tyrolienne slide.
The short run is intended for juniors from 6 to 9, 1.10 to 1.40 m tall. Thanks to a continuous line they can go through all obstacles in full safety without any technical manipulation.

Climbing at Vercorin |
|
Defy the laws of gravity at Vercorin! |
|
The cliffs of Vercorin are located at approximately 1200 metres above sea level. They are passable during the summer season from May to November and offer a large choice of more than 60 ways divided into 5 different sectors. The degrees of difficulte are between 3 to 8, most of the ways being between degrees 5 and 6.
A 50 metres long cord is sufficient to pass through all the ways proposed. The equipment was installed by Serge Lambert, Stephane and Cyrille Albasini, Philippe Julen. It consists of spits and sealed pins and the relays are provided with snap-hooks in order to allow the moulinettes. Stephane Albasini regularly cleans and maintains the ways for the greatest comfort of everyone.
The calcareous rock of poor appearance conceals beautiful surprises and many people will be surprised by the variety of the seams that can be found there. Many ways are worth seeing and deserve to be carefully observed. The access is easy and not more than ten minutes walk from the village centre.
Enjoy climbing!
