Parc Écureuil, Adventure park in Châtel-Guyon, France
Parc Écureuil is a tree climbing park in a natural forest with 13 different courses that offer varying difficulty levels through elevated pathways and platforms among the trees. The facility uses the woodland structure to create a network of obstacles and challenges above the ground.
The park was established in Châtel-Guyon, a thermal town in the Auvergne region, where it helped diversify the range of local recreational activities. This facility broadened what visitors could do in this well-known spa destination.
The park reflects a French appreciation for outdoor activities in natural settings, combining physical exercise with awareness of the forest environment. Visitors experience how recreation and nature coexist in this space.
Outside the months of July and August you need to book ahead, and the park operates from February through November. All necessary safety equipment is supplied at the site.
The facility offers a special experience called 'aperitif perched' where visitors can enjoy drinks and snacks on platforms suspended high in the tree canopy. This unusual dining activity combines food with the thrill of being elevated above the forest floor.
