High Ropes Courses

High and low

A ropes course is an obstacle course up in the air, between trees, posts or other structures. Attached to a wire, it is perfectly safe and fits all ages including people with a fear of heights as well as the thrill seekers. We have extensive experience in both construction, operation, and service to provide you with a facility that is as complete as possible. That means that you who operate the ropes course can feel completely sure that everything is safe and according to European standards down to the smallest details.

Layout and design

Together we create a layout of the high ropes course. This is one of the most important parts of the project because it gives you a better insight into how the park can look and operate. At the same time, you also see what opportunities there are to make the business scalable. Many choose to build a medium-sized park that they can develop after one or two years to scale up the business – it is then necessary that the land area is large enough to facilitate such expansion. It may sometimes be hard to see how a seemingly plain forest can become one of the most modern adventure parks and this is where we get into the picture. With a trained eye, we make sure to use your terrain to create the highest potential and thus return on investment to you. We always strive to create an attractive facility where we enhance your specific characteristics and enable you to profile and stay strong in the market. It is good if you have walked through the area and created an overview and gotten some thoughts about how you and where you want the park before the site visit. Depending on what you want to build in your adventure park, the approach is a bit different, do not cut any big trees, but if the forest is very thick, it is a good idea to take down the smaller undergrowth so that there is a better vision between the trees.

Safety systems for ropes courses

When we have worked out a plan about how the ropes course and adventure park can look, what activities are to be offered and a development plan, it is important to decide at an early stage how the safety should be handled. Should you handle everything manually with a required high level of human resources, or do you want to handle most of your tasks automatically? The industry is leaning more and more against the need for a technical solution in order to guarantee the safety of your customers. The automatic safety systems (continuous belay) require the guest to connect themselves at the beginning, down on the ground. Once connected, the guests are safe until they reach the ground again. Perfect for high ropes courses to ensure the safety of the guests. Some providers of security systems we have previously installed include Kanopeo Saferoller and Speedrunner, Altus, Vert Voltige, RopeRoller and all of HeadRush’s automatic magnetic braking systems. During our site visit, we discuss your view of how you want to run the park and you get more information to make sound decisions. We help you in decision-making, both in terms of safety and from an economic perspective – we want you to have a long-term and sustainable facility with satisfied guests. We are always available after finishing work and can continue to help you in case you have any questions, need adjustments or more information. We can assist in the planning stage with information for building permits and gladly contribute with powerpoint presentation for meetings with landowners, authorities, and stakeholders.
