The best place to practice tarzaning / arboring is an adventure park, consisting of a set of suspended paths at different heights, generally installed on trees or on wooden poles or rock walls.

The various routes are composed of lianas, tibetan bridges, cableways, nets, pulleys, suspended barrels, walkways and allow you to pass from one tree to another in total safety.

In some adventure parks it is also possible to do archery, climbing on an artificial wall or rock, snow tubing (on board of large donuts you slide on paths covered with special carpets), mountain biking, hiking.

Before starting you will be instructed and equipped with a safety device similar to the one used in climbing (harness, carabiners, pulley). You will then be directed to the most suitable path for you.

The routes of the adventure parks to practice Tarzaning / Arboring are differentiated by difficulty, age (height) and increasing commitment.

Due to their characteristics, they are the ideal combination of playful activity, training experience and sports practice. For this reason, adventure parks are increasingly used also for corporate Team Building practices.

Furthermore, they have a low environmental impact since no motorized vehicle is used, no noise or gas emissions.

In some adventure parks it is possible to stay overnight in tents, even suspended, and in tree houses.

The opening of the adventure parks is seasonal; they are usually closed in winter and, in the low season, they are open only for groups by reservation.

Not all adventure parks apply the same rules, so check before taking your kids for tarzaning / arboring.

Then you have to follow a short briefing led by the instructors. Now you can tackle the different routes independently and in complete safety.

In recent years, advanced safety systems have been increasingly used, such as continuous lifelines and intelligent lanyards, which prevent them from disconnecting even temporarily from the lifeline, reducing the risk of serious accidents to zero.
