The park is situated within the Garrigue, a distinct Mediterranean ecoregion characterized by low-growing, evergreen shrubs and limestone soil.
The courses are built directly into the existing tree canopy, requiring periodic safety inspections of the living trees.
The facility uses a 'continuous lifeline' system, meaning once a climber connects their harness to the cable at the start, they cannot physically disconnect until the end of the course.
