This comes from a description of activities for a treetop/high ropes adventure trail. I imagine it's some kind of ladder, but I have no idea what the name is in English (if there is one). Any help would be great!
Thanks!

Comment: "Thanks for your help! I ended up choosing 'scramble nets' but I think you're right that this refers to a type of climbing net"

trapper's ladder
Thi is how this site seems to call it: http://www.frenchriviera-tourism.com/mountain-activities-sou...
Trouble is: it is the only example on Google.

Note from asker:
| Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately as there's only one mention on Google, and it comes from a translated website, I'm not convinced that the literal translation works here |

: I too am concerned about the ONE G-hit, which suggests a literal translation when all else had failed! But I think you're on the right track with the site, and suggest it could be something like "Scramble net" :www.ropework-uk.com/play-ropes/cargo-nets/

Les petits pourront ainsi s’adonner au plaisir des ponts suspendus, des filets et des échelles de rondins, sans oublier les tyroliennes.

Perhaps from cabane de trappeur?
Guests navigate log ladders, cargo nets, rope swings, tightropes, swinging logs, wobbly bridges, and more aerial surprises that gradually become higher and more challenging.
