- Extensive outdoor entertainment program: The outdoor animation team organizes excursions and sporty activities such as canyoning, abseiling, climbing, and mountain biking. There is a rope course in the trees on the campsite where you can move like a real monkey through the treetops (safely harnessed, of course).
