Tree climbing as a sport uses specific climbing techniques and equipment to reach the very top of the trees.
The difficulty (and height) of the climb can be matched to the ability of the participants, and is suitable for all ages.
This activity, organised by Rockonda, lets you climb high into the trees of the forest close to our activity centre. Our guides will help you to climb up, abseil down, or move around the treetops.

Also known as ‘Tarzaning’, tree climbing involves climbing to the top of trees moving from one branch to another, with the support of a harness attached to the tree. This type of climbing uses ropes and holds to assist your climb and ensure your safety.
As children, climbing trees was all about getting as high up as possible! Today, climbing trees for sport, we respect the living world and work in harmony with the trees. We use ropes and holds which are tied to the tree in a way that does not damage the branches or the bark.
It’s simple – you just need comfortable clothes and trainers/trekking shoes. We’ll provide the rest. Oh yes – don’t forget to bring your sense of adventure!
You should wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict your movement, and trainers (or better still, trekking shoes). Rockonda will provide everything else you need.
This activity is suitable for everyone. The system of ropes and harnesses on the trees are adjustable to make the activity suitable for everyone – of all ages, levels of fitness and enthusiasm for heights!
‘Tarzaning’ takes place in trees and the sport needs to be safe for both the people and the trees. Rockonda offers tree climbing in the Lima Valley, a few minutes away from Abetone.
Of course! Using this technique, the activity is accessible to less experienced climbers thanks to equipment which can be calibrated to suit every level.
