A low ropes course involves navigating a series of obstacles positioned close to the ground. Activities often focus on balance, coordination and problem-solving, and are commonly used for outdoor adventure sessions, group challenges and team-building events.
ActivitySure can cover low ropes when you are taking part abroad at an amateur level, provided the activity meets the policy conditions. Although obstacles are kept at a low height, uneven surfaces and physical movement mean suitable travel insurance remains important while travelling.

Destination Insight
Where can you find low ropes?
Low ropes courses are widely available at outdoor activity centres in the UK, France and Canada, particularly within forest parks and adventure facilities designed for group participation. They are commonly included as part of organised programmes for schools, families and corporate groups, often alongside other outdoor activities.
Here's why low ropes travel insurance matters:
Low ropes activities can involve balancing, climbing and moving across unstable elements, which may lead to slips, strains or minor falls. If an injury occurs while abroad, medical treatment or assistance may still be required.
Helpful travel tips
- Wear suitable footwear with good grip to reduce the risk of slipping.Use slow, steady movements when crossing obstacles.
- Keep hands protected where recommended, such as with gloves.
- Always follow the instructions provided by instructors or course leaders.
- Wear appropriate safety equipment where advised for the activity.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, low ropes are covered as standard. This means you can take part without adding the activity to your policy.
Low ropes are set close to the ground, and are usually on a much smaller scale. High ropes involve elevated obstacles, meaning there’s a greater fall risk, and participants often wear harnesses.
You must choose the actual activity you’re doing. Claims will only be considered for the insured activities on your Policy Certificate.
Not quite. Low ropes usually focus on balance, co-ordination, and team challenges using rope-based obstacles. Assault courses may include more physical obstacles, climbing, crawling, mud, water, or timed challenges, so the right activity should be selected.
Emergency medical expenses can be covered if you're injured while taking part, provided you’ve followed safety rules and organiser instructions. This can include emergency medical treatment, hospital stays, emergency transport, and repatriation if medically necessary.
