Full description
An experience that seems straight out of the pages of Il Barone Rampante! Become an arborist for a day with a tree climbing course in Francavilla al Mare, in the province of Chieti.
Learn to climb trees together with professional instructors and spend the night in a hammock suspended between trees from 1 to 20 metres high.
Packed lunch, aperitif, dinner and breakfast are included, to recharge your batteries on this romance-flavoured adventure!
What we will do
Arrival is scheduled for 9 a.m. on Saturday at the meeting point in Francavilla al Mare (CH).
You will be welcomed by tree-climbing instructors to begin the most sporting part of this experience: a course that will teach you to climb trees like a true professional, equipped with all the necessary equipment.
With practice you will be able to climb up to a height of 15-20 metres above the ground, varying according to your level of skill. An instructor will be with you every step of the way to give you confidence and tips to improve your technique.
Around 12 noon you will take a break to recharge your batteries with a packed lunch (included), before continuing practising in the afternoon. Around 16:00 you will start setting up the hammock where you will sleep: you can choose the height you want, from 1 to 20 metres above the ground.
Each hammock is equipped with a sleeping bag and a sleeping bag and has LED lights to illuminate the night and a protective cover; a headlamp will be at your disposal for any nighttime travel. In addition, you will find a power bank to charge your phone in case you need it. If you choose to mount the hammock at a significant height, you will be able to descend and ascend with a rope ladder and you will sleep with a light harness for added safety.
In the evening you can recharge your batteries with an aperitif and dinner under the stars (included): meals will be prepared by a food truck on site. Then you can climb into your hammock and relax in the silence of the night, imagining the sea just a short distance away.
When you wake up, you will be welcomed with a good breakfast (included), before resuming with the tree climbing course and perfecting the techniques learnt the day before.
The activity will end around 12 noon on Sunday.
