- Tramblai: Even the youngest family members may enjoy Seilpark Engadin with this small rope course that sits only 3 feet above the ground. It’s just right for children ages 8 and under, and they’ll have a great time on gently moving bridges and an easy flying fox cable at the end.

Other elements include some very tricky bridges and even a bike ride through the trees.
Frisbee Golf
Another fun activity at Seilpark Engadin, this game may be enjoyed by anyone ages 5 and up. It’s a lot like mini golf but with a Frisbee instead of a ball, and you’ll discover a 9-hole course filled with fun and challenges.
Bungee-Tramp
Fun for both children and adults, this activity combines a trampoline with a bungee cord for a bouncing good time. You’ll be safely buckled in, and it’s possible to bounce down to the ground and high into the air and even do somersaults in midair.
Night of the Rope Parks
Each June, Seilpark Engadin and rope parks all across Switzerland offer a special night challenge that runs from 6 p.m. to midnight. Those in attendance must navigate the most difficult rope courses with nothing but the moonlight above and their headlamp to guide them, and it’s a great activity for couples who are looking for something a little different in a romantic outing.
