Tyrolienne

People hanging from a pulley or carabiner are transported over a rope that has a gradient. The higher the gradient, the higher the speed achieved. A braking system or a slope that tapers off towards the end of the track are crucial for the safety of the users

Of course. The ropes and safety systems used are regularly checked. Visitors are not allowed to use a tyrolienne without contact with a guide. A short briefing is required. In addition, everyone is equipped with gloves, harness, double climbing rope and a pulley. Some ziplines also use a harness system attached to pulleys. Mostly even children from 9 years old are allowed to participate and sometimes there are small ziplines for the youngest ones. The maximum weight is usually 110 kilograms per person.

A Tyrolienne, for example, is located on Monte Tamaro, near the top station. Over a length of 440 meters, it descends to the valley at a speed of up to 60 kilometers per hour. An automatic braking system stops the ride safely at its destination At Alp Pfingstegg, the Tyrolienne is called Fly-Line. It runs over a pipe system, is 350 meters long and reaches up to 12 km/h At Pilatus, the tyrolienne there is called Dragon Glider. At the Aventure Jura Park there is a 180 meter long Tyrolienne. At Titlis, you'll find the 500-meter Zipline Trübsee Flyer, which includes two parallel cable cars down to Trübsee. So two of you can ride down at the same time.
