The zipline descent covers an altitude difference of approximately 350 meters between the start and finish points.
The cable is suspended over the rugged terrain of the Val Grande, Europe’s largest protected wilderness area.
Safety equipment includes a specialized trolley and a harness system designed to handle high-velocity deceleration.
The landing point at Pian d'Arla offers a panoramic view of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alpine peaks.
The structure is specifically engineered to maintain a consistent trajectory despite high-altitude wind patterns.
Lake Maggiore Zipline features an 1,850-meter-long steel cable descent located in the Intrasca Valley. Participants travel from Alpe Segletta to Pian d'Arla reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h. The experience allows for two distinct flight styles: the 'Falcon Style' with a prone harness and the 'Freestyle' seated position. The facility includes the La Batua restaurant and bar at the landing point. The course is situated at an elevation of approximately 1,300 meters above sea level. It operates as part of the Val Grande National Park area infrastructure. The zipline utilizes a gravity-based braking system at the terminal point.
The landing platform at Pian d'Arla provides the most dramatic backdrop of the lake and the distant Monte Rosa massif.
