TREE CLIMBING
Climb trees in Tuscany with Rockonda: an exciting way to enjoy nature, in total safety.
Tree climbing as a sport uses harnesses and supports to aid your climb, without harming the tree. The activity takes place in the forest close to our activity centre on the Lima river, with the help of an instructor who will show you how to reach the top!Discover the Lima river from above
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. This activity originated from tree surgery (pruning tall trees with harnesses and equipment), and has become an exciting sport in its own right, prompting childhood memories of climbing trees in the garden or the woods.GETTING READY
