Balancing acts ?n the rope park 

  Young and young-at-heart adventurers will find just the challenge they are looking for in the park. The rope park has over ten courses with increasing degrees of difficulty. The Pilatus rope park is now also open during the winter — six of the courses can be climbed all year round.

  The focus is always on having fun overcoming the (障碍物) in the wood — no need for any special skills or knowledge.

Way up high on Monkey Trees 

  The Monkey Tree offered by the Pilatus rope park is the first of its kind anywhere in the world. Climb straight up the trunk and test your skill on the five Monkey Trees.

  Although the easiest climb is for children aged eight or over, ,the most difficult one is a serious challenge even for seasoned climbers. The finish calls for an extra challenge: Let yourself fall from a height of 14 metres and be lowered gently to the ground by the safety equipment.

Ride on the summer toboggan (长雪橇道)

  The summer toboggan is Switzerland's longest Numerous sharp turns along the 1,350m channel promise speeds and fun from May to the end of October. You are spared the long walk up the mountain after the high-speed ride: Let the lift pull you back up to the start while you sit comfortably on the toboggan. From there you can start another exciting downhill ride.
