The term "accrobranche" refers to an activity of climbing in the trees. "Accro" is French for "hang" as in "hook" and in this context is hanging or hooked onto a branch. Obviously for safety reasons, the activity consists of a series of steel cables (rather than branches) and carabiner hooks that are shackled to a harness.

Safety instructions are indicated verbally to each person by a qualified monitor in an initiation area before they go up in the circuit.

The two safety carabiners (hooks) are said to be "smart" and will prevent unintentional detachment. When moving, they must be hooked and unhooked one after the other on the continuous steel lifeline; only one of the two connectors can be detached at a time.

In addition, both carabiners must be hooked in such a way that the openings of the carabiners are in the same direction, pointing outwards.
