Activities

White water rafting

Scouts wear a buoyancy aid, wetsuit and helmet. In group size of 6-8 people, including a qualified instructor scouts navigate down a river including white water thrills. A real highlight activity in the alps.

Climbing and via ferrata

Younger scouts are harnessed and wear a helmet as they try to climb the dizzy heights of the 30 metre outdoor crag.

Older scouts are harnessed and wear a helmet as they traverse along a steel cable which runs along a set route fixed to the rock face, the via ferata.

Make your way from tree to tree avoiding the pitfalls here and there; test your balance, overcome your fear of heights, or pick-up speed on a zip-wire... a tase of what's in store on our forest adventure!

Scouts attempt different routes according to height, from easiest to the most gnarly.

Undoubtedly the highlight of the week.
