Thursday July 28, the 20 Hours takes you on a discovery of a somewhat special zip line in Italy since it connects two mountains. Once in the air, the view is sumptuous.

It is an activity for tourists eager for strong and extreme sensations. A Zipline in Italy connects two mountains. Perched 400 meters high, it gives a glimpse of a magnificent landscape to the people who use it. The trolley is only hooked to two cables to guarantee the safety of the occupants. 1.5 kilometers covered in just 70 seconds is very fast, but the feeling of speed is incredible with a speed of 120 km/h reached during the trip.

Not everyone has access to this particular trip since the minimum age requirement is 16 and you have to weigh between 40 and 120 kilos. Some choose to perform this attraction in pairs, an activity that can only be done if both people are of equal weight. Grace to the material and the slope, same non-athletes can enjoy being on the Zipline. “It’s an extraordinary experience, from the start a dizzying view and after the speed which stabilizes quite quickly”analyzes a man who has just made the crossing on the Zipline. For the villages relatively unfrequented by tourists in this region of the Dolomites of South, this Zipline represents a significant economic opportunity.
