La Forêt Magique in Chamonix: treetop adventure park with graded trails and ziplines offering panoramic views of the Mont-Blanc massif.
Location verified by loisirs74.fr
La Forêt Magique is a treetop adventure park in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, set in a forest facing the iconic massif. The park offers several treetop trails graded by colour (yellow, green, blue, red, black, plus a Pitchoun trail for younger ones) and panoramic ziplines with thrills above the canopy and views of the Aiguilles and Bossons glacier.
Personal equipment (harness, Smart-Belay lanyards) is provided and a safety briefing is given before each session. The Smart-Belay system ensures continuous safety (you cannot unclip both carabiners at once), ideal for families. Children can start from age 3-4 on the Pitchoun trail; adults enjoy the high sporty trails.
The park is open roughly May to October, with extended hours on weekends, public holidays and summer school holidays. Online booking strongly recommended. Free car park on site; sportswear and closed shoes required. Ideal for a family half-day alongside a Chamonix day out.
