Second timer








This is just A.W.E.S.O.M.E. !!!! Actually, I (Mimi) did this for the first time when I was 5 years old and Me (Basti) did this experience at the age of 7. It was indeed unforgettable, so we thought of renewing the experience for the second time. Snow doesn't only mean skiing, snowboarding, alpine skiing or racket snowshoe hiking and the likes ...there is also the tyrolean or zip line. This is the longest one in Europe, measuring 1870  meters long cable. The sliding starts from the Drouvet summit (2655m) descending to the Lac Long (2500m). Attached by a specially adapted tackle sliding in a horizontal position, head first at speeds of up to 140km per hour. The whole sliding experience lasts approximately 1 minute 20 seconds. It's indeed a very  nice Christmas gift from Papa and Maman :D ! We assure you,  we were not forced to do this but we ask ask for it voluntarily ;) !
