ADRENALINE CONSTRUCTIONS, A ZIP LINE STORY TO ACHIEVE NEW GOALS, YOU HAVE TO DO THINGS NEVER DONE BEFORE

It all began in 2005 on a trip to Costa Rica. There we discovered the Zip line: an adrenaline-filled experience immersed in nature. We had to take it home to Alto Adige. We suspected it wouldn t be easy, and on test day we were proved right: the cables were too steep and the arrival speed excessive. But we don t lack determination, and when faced with a problem we are good at finding solutions. The idea came from super-fast magnetic levitation trains: a pulley with a magnetic brake. Nothing similar had ever been used on Zip lines, so we did it all by ourselves. We designed and built the component, and it worked. Did we mention that we don t give up easily? This innovation allowed us to open in 2008 our first Zip line, the largest in Europe. And from that day on we have never stopped: we build Zip lines all over the world, setting new standards in the sector. We look for new challenges to overcome, knowing that to achieve new goals, you have to do things never done before.

DISCOVER THE ADRENALINE A Zip line is an attraction, an amusement park, a challenge to ourselves. A load-bearing cable connects two points at different heights. Riders are fitted with a harness. Gravity is the only engine, giving customers the primordial thrill of flight. A Zip line system may include several parallel cables and intermediate stations, to increase capacity while adapting to the geomorphology. We constantly upgrade the structures and components of our Zip lines, aiming to create a sensory experience, a journey towards intense emotions in maximum safety. EVERY FLIGHT GUARANTEES: an unforgettable experience top of technology and safety standards minimum environmental impact A FANTASTIC ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY: low operating costs very few staff required moderate fixed costs excellent return on initial investment great media impact
