The Experience
Before You Go
Wear grippy footwear
Choose sturdy approach shoes or light boots with good traction — routes are short but often exposed and rocky.
Bring 1–1.5 liters of water
Hydration is crucial; there’s little shade on exposed sections and the activity is moderately aerobic.
Protect from sun and wind
A brimmed hat, sunscreen and a wind layer help — afternoons can be gusty, which affects the zipline experience.
Listen to the guide’s briefings
Guides teach basic rope and ferrata technique on the spot; following instructions keeps the flow safe and enjoyable for everyone.
