Suspended in the air, you can zip along at 120 km/hr. On the horizon, the spectacular reflections of the Borromean Gulf.
Those who choose to ride the Lago Maggiore Zipline get a full blast of adrenaline and beauty. From the ‘Fienile’ in Pian d'Arla, on the border of the Val Grande National Park, along the historic Cadorna Line northern frontier, safely secured to a steel cable you cover two kilometres in 90 seconds to arrive at the ‘Nido’ at Alpe Segletta.
If, at one time, the mountain cableways were used to transport large logs, today it is the intrepid passengers who soar precipitously over the valleys. There is a choice between the Free style harness that enables fliers to hover in the air with free arms and legs, or the Falcon style which, as the name suggests, transforms the descent into an open wings (arms) nosedive. Fortunately, a shuttle service takes all the stress out of the return journey. Nevertheless, this beautiful territory is not only to be explored from above, like birds, but also with rental e-bikes that enable riders to travel tens of kilometres of dirt tracks along the Cadorna Line, a road that connected the military fortifications built during the Great War for defence against a German attack through Switzerland. Beautifully evocative itineraries amongst breath-taking panoramas also embrace those who choose a horse ride, trekking or a climbing experience.
Don’t miss the opportunity to enjoy a well-earned rest at La Batùa, located at the zipline base camp, that offers a bar service, local cuisine, and a children’s play area.
