Parco Avventura Tree Experience

I went here with my boyfriend and two good friends our ours. We actually had a groupon deal purchased some time ago and wanted to put it to good use before it expired. Hidden up in the hills around Fiesole, this is a great family or friend day out and I would recommend it to those of all ages. We did the «tree experience» where you basically choose out of three courses to do in the Forrest. Someone who worked there helped us with the harnesses and showed us what we would be doing using a «practice track» which was very helpful. After that we could choose which level we wanted to do. Three of us ended up going the intermediate (about 7 meters from the ground) while one of us did the easy course (5 meters up). We walked on shaky logs, rope, netting, and even zip-​lined a few times. We felt very safe and comfortable and yet it was really good exercise and really fun. It’s basically up to you to challenge your fears. The only downside is that I wish we would have had gloves as the ropes can be tough on your hands. Next time I will ask. We also brought our own picnic to eat at the table they have around the course. The courses themselves take about 40 min to an hour depending on whichever you choose. The hard one (9 meters off the ground) is a lot shorter than the other options. Prices are about 18 euros for an adult for the first course and half off any additional trips. Kids are 10 euros for 4 hours. Our groupon allowed us two of us to go for the price of one. I had never done anything like it before and everyone enjoyed it, even the one person scared of heights. Also being that it was 35+ degrees (celsius) outside we felt perfectly fine in the woods. Make sure to wear proper shoes & jeans or exercise pants. Ask for gloves if you don’t want your hands to be rubbed slightly raw, most of all have FUN and face your fears.
