Tree-top adventure course in the Hautes-Alpes: come climb in Réallon

Why a tree-top adventure park in the Hautes-Alpes?

The Hautes-Alpes (department 05) covers 5,549 km² of mountains, but had no open tree-top adventure parks between 2021 and 2026. The nearby Chlorofil park was shut down following the 2021 fire. Since then, families in the department have had to travel down to the Bouches-du-Rhône or Vaucluse to go climbing.

The Réallon Adventure Park is opening this summer to fill that gap. Located in the town of Réallon (05160), at an elevation of 1,560 meters, it enjoys a stable microclimate, natural coolness even in the midst of a heat wave, and a direct view of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the Écrins Massif.
