Le Corsaire Volant FAQ

Minimum age, safety, weather, booking, clothing, picnics, dogs: all the answers to plan your visit to Le Corsaire Volant.

Children

From what age can you climb?

From age 6: the first courses are 1.50 m above the ground.

Can a minor climb without an adult on the course?

Yes, as long as a responsible adult stays in the park. We do not look after unaccompanied minors.

Can I climb with my child?

Yes, on the children’s courses: it’s the best way to share the adventure.

What about the big courses?

Signs at the start of each course show the recommended minimum age. Another question? Our instructors will answer you directly at the park.

What about children under 6?

Right next to the adventure park is Elfy Park, a fun park suitable for children from age 2.

Treetop adventure: the basics

What is there to do at Le Corsaire Volant?

High-rope adventure courses for the whole family: 9 courses in all, one of the largest parks of its kind in the Ardennes.

What level do I need?

None in particular: courses range from green, very accessible, to red, for the sportiest.

Is it safe?

Yes. Every course has the continuous Clic-it safety line: you cannot unclip at height. It is up to you to follow the instructions given at the entrance and by our instructors, all holders of the French CQP Opérateur de Parcours Aventure en Hauteur. Every year, an independent body inspects the equipment and the trees.

How does it work?

Once you have paid, you are fitted with a harness and lanyards. An instructor then explains all the rules during a safety briefing. You must complete a test course under their supervision, after which you can do all the courses.

Are there instructors on the course?

You climb under “supervised independence”: after a compulsory introduction, you move at your own pace; our operators keep an eye on the whole park and step in at the slightest problem.

Is the course accessible to people with disabilities?

We welcome people with disabilities every year. Contact us to discuss it, especially for groups, so that we can plan a time slot when our team can accompany you. During regular opening hours, everyone moves through the courses on their own.

Is there a weight limit?

The limit is 120 kg. It’s still a sport: you need to be able to move fast, especially on the zip lines. Our team will advise you discreetly.

Park opening

Open on public holidays?

Yes, the park is open on all public holidays during the season, without booking.

Do I need to book?

Individual visitors are welcome without booking during opening periods. For groups, booking is required from 28 March to 30 October: we can then welcome you even on days when the park is closed to the public. In July and August, call before you come to check that the park is not full.

Do you offer half-day prices?

No, but we offer group rates from 10 participants.

What if it rains?

Rain does not close the courses: the forest offers shelter, and grey days are often the quietest. Only severe weather (storm, strong wind, heavy rain) can stop the activity.

Before you come

How much time should I allow?

Admission gives access to all the courses for 3 hours. Allow 2.5 to 3 hours to make the most of it: arrive by 4pm at the latest.

When should you come to avoid the crowds?

The park can take 100 people at a time. Peak time is between 2.30pm and 4pm: come at opening time or at the very start of the afternoon. In July and August, weekends are the quietest days. For children under 10, arriving around 4pm (when holiday clubs leave) gives almost 3 quieter hours.

Is special clothing required?

Sportswear and closed shoes (trainers) required; no sandals, flip-flops, dresses, skirts or scarves. Leave valuables at home and keep your phone in a closed pocket. Unsuitable clothing may mean refused access.

Can we have a picnic?

Yes, tables and benches are available, even before opening. A snack bar can top up your packed lunch. Please note: no drinking water in the park.

Can I bring my dog?

Yes, on a lead.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Cash, bank card, ANCV holiday vouchers (paper and ANCV Connect), CAF leisure vouchers and, for public bodies, administrative purchase order (Chorus Pro).

Where can I leave my things?

A free left-luggage service awaits you at reception.

Can I come along without climbing?

Yes, admission to the park is free for accompanying people who do not climb.
