Up the trees, get set, go! A bit of a thrill, a bit of artistry and body control, lots of fun with a high repetition factor – the Val Pusteria high ropes courses, such as the KronAction Outdoor & Fun Park, promise pure emotions at lofty heights: from courses for toddlers to dizzying balancing acts for real experts. Families and other group teams are also very welcome. Schussing on the zip line is especially popular with young and old!
