Mountain Ropes Adventure

Mountain Ropes Adventure is currently closed until Spring 2026.

Balance, jump, climb, swing and zipline your way through the trees on our Mountain Ropes Adventure - a series of aerial ropes courses with varying degrees of difficulty.

Guides will provide you with harnesses, teach you tips and tricks from the ground and ensure a safe and fun environment as you weave your way through the different elements of the courses.

Navigate plank bridges, rock climbing walls, nets and ziplines as you make your way across the series of platforms.
