Itinerary:
Ever wanted to swing through the trees like Tarzan? Or cross a wobbly bridge high above the forest floor? Join us for this and more on our treetop trekking adventure at Horseshoe Valley!

Horseshoe Resorts’ Arbraska Treetop Trekking offers five aerial courses combining more than 70 innovative games in the trees, including zip lines, Tarzan swings, rope bridges, ladders, climbing nets and more right in the majestic Horseshoe Valley Forest. It's a fun and exciting way to challenge yourself physically and mentally while enjoying the beauty of the great outdoors.

The day will begin with an information initiation to outline safety rules, explain the level of difficulty of each course, and help those who need it overcome any fear of heights. You’ll then be supplied with a climbing harness and all the necessary equipment, including carabineers, cords, and pulleys. Finally, you will get to try your hand at treetop travel with fun and challenging games from tree to tree, 5 to 45 feet above the forest floor.

We will arrive at Horseshoe before our reserved time to have lunch or stroll along the trails. It is estimated that the total time to go through the courses from start to finish is about three hours. Upon completing the courses and returning to Toronto, we will stop in at the TOC clubhouse, Chalkers Pub, for some well-earned refreshments.
