The Zipline is situated 2665 meters (8743 feet) high at the summit of Orcières 1850 ski resort. You will fly over a distance of 1870 meters (6135 feet) above the mountains and reach a peak speed of 130km/h (81 mph). It will take you 120 meters (390 feet) above ground.

It is an activity with no risks, accessible to everyone and to be discovered with your family or a group of friends. Children from 7 years old are welcome if the meteorological conditions allow it.
The final approach is very smooth without any jolts and Denis will unhook you safely; your only job is to enjoy yourself and admire the beautiful view.

Accompanying
Do people want to see you take off? Bring them along! They can come up to the departure area (with a pedestrian pass) by taking the "telemix" of Drouvet 1 and Drouvet 2.
The pass will also allow them to go back down to the station using the same ski lifts.
They can join you at the bottom of the zipline by walking down the "Lacs d’orcières" hike trail which starts at the peak of Drouvet (start of the zipline) and goes through the Estaris Lake (end of zipline).
This should take approximately 1h to walk.
