The World's Highest Zip Wire

Possibly the best, and certainly one of the most fun, ways to get from A to B with your ski's or snowboard! If you are in the resort of Val Thorens this winter then this is one experience not to miss out on...

The world's highest zip wire goes from a starting point 3230 metres up, and is only accessible by skiers and boarders. It takes 105 seconds to descend the 1.3km wire to the 3000 metres finishing point. Reaching speeds of up to 100km/h and at the highest point "fly" 250m above the snow and ice below.

In the running for the World Snow Awards, La Tyrolienne has been nominated in the 'best transport innovation 2014' category. Winners will be announced this weekend on Saturday 1st November.
