Treetop adventure: the adventure parks around Sarlat

On the Souillac road, this adventure park combines treetop courses and a via ferrata mixing trees and cliff, with a continuous safety line. Allow about two hours for the via ferrata; ideally come in the morning, no booking needed.

Less than ten minutes from the villa, this shady treetop park offers fourteen courses with a continuous safety line, from age 2: rope bridges, Tarzan jumps, rail skateboarding and an 800-metre zip-line course. Snack bar and hammocks for a break between courses.

On an island in the Dordogne: nine courses with continuous safety lines across six levels of difficulty, and 1,500 metres of zip lines, including two 300-metre lines over the water. You will want to make a day of it by the river.

In an oak forest near Gourdon, this adventure park adds more than a kilometre of giant zip lines to its treetop courses, plus a whole range of activities: tubing, disc golf, laser tag, orienteering and treasure hunts. Open from age 2.

Near Montignac, this large adventure park in a shady forest has eleven progressive courses and more than 150 activities, including some fifty zip lines, accessible from age 2. Open from April to September.
