What to expect on the revamped course
At its core, a high ropes course is an elevated playground of cables, bridges, balancing elements, and ziplines built among trees or purpose‑designed structures. You move station to station while attached to safety lines, challenging balance, focus, and coordination. Ziplines—often called Flying Fox—add exhilarating glides between platforms.
The Gerlos setup stands out for its scale and breadth:
| Feature | What you’ll find |
|---|---|
| Total stations | 95 |
| Flying Fox stations | 31 |
| Kidslines | 15 |
Highlights you’ll notice on the day:
- Pace your challenge: With so many stations, you can dial the intensity up or down as you go.
- Flying Fox fun: Those 31 zip stations mean frequent, smile‑inducing glides.
- Room for younger adventurers: The 15 Kidslines make it easier to include children in the action.
Tip: High ropes experiences typically involve a harness and helmet with carabiners attached to safety cables. Wear close‑fitting layers and closed‑toe shoes so you can move confidently across platforms and ladders.
