The zip line is one of the longest single-span installations in Europe.
The ride crosses directly over Lago di Vagli, which periodically hides the ghost village of Fabbriche di Careggine when the dam is full.
The descent speed is achieved through gravity and the specific aerodynamic posture of the rider.
The structure is integrated into the rugged terrain of the Garfagnana region in northern Tuscany.
Zip Line Vagli Park features an adrenaline-focused flight spanning the Vagli Sotto reservoir in the Apuan Alps. The primary zip line allows participants to travel at speeds reaching 130-150 km/h suspended by a steel cable. It covers a distance of approximately 1,500 meters from the starting station to the arrival point across the lake. The facility is situated at an altitude that offers views of the Apuan mountain range. Participants are harnessed in a prone 'superman' position during the descent. The park also includes access to the nearby Ponte Morandi suspension bridge, which spans a portion of the gorge. On-site staff operate safety equipment and monitor weather conditions to ensure operational viability.
The arrival platform provides the clearest angle for capturing the speed of incoming riders against the lake background.
Check official weather updates before arrival, as strong winds or heavy rain will halt operations.
Book your time slot in advance during summer months to avoid long wait times.
Bring a camera with a secure mount, as loose items are prohibited during the flight.
Do not attempt to visit without a pre-booked reservation during weekends, as capacity is limited.
Operates primarily from spring through early autumn; closed during winter months and subject to closure on weekdays during off-peak seasons.
Closed-toe shoes are mandatory; loose clothing or accessories must be secured or removed as per safety guidelines.
