This giant zip line is just a few hours from Paris. And it’s the largest zip line in France—no less. Thebest part? The feeling of soaring over a postcard-perfect landscape!
In Île-de-France, thrill-seekers head to Parc Astérix to enjoy heart-pounding rides like Tonnerre 2 Zeus or Toutatis, the tallest and fastest ride in France. But this summer, why not swap amusement parks for an adventure in the great outdoors? Forget peaceful kayaking trips or afternoons spent on a tree-top adventure course. Here, it’s all about speed, height, and adrenaline, thanks to France’s longest zip line.
The perfect summer getaway to get your fill of thrills
Two zip-line courses, 2,663 meters of cable, a 1,879-meter descent with a 300-meter elevation drop, speeds reaching up to 130 km/h, the sensation of flying, and scenery straight out of a postcard… This is an experience that promises plenty of adrenaline rushes. To enjoy it, head to La Colmiane, just an hour from the Mediterranean coast. A place surrounded by nature, away from the crowds, for a summer in the great outdoors.
The giant zipline at La Colmiane, the longest zipline in France
Located in the town of Valdeblore, this mountain resort in the Alpes-Maritimes is well known to winter skiers. But as soon as the warm weather arrives, it transforms into a vast outdoor playground.
There’s no shortage of activities on site: donkey treks, horseback rides on a farm, a chairlift offering panoramic views, summer tobogganing, a swimming pool at an altitude of 1,000 meters, a trampoline, mini-golf, downhill mountain biking, and even a tree-top adventure course. But the star attraction is undoubtedly its spectacular giant zip line—the largest in France.
The sensation of flying over the resort and its lakes at 130 km/h
Imagine hurtling through the air at full speed as the trees rush by beneath your feet. Lying horizontally and suspended in midair, you’ll truly feel like you’re flying. It’s an experience that perfectly combines an adrenaline rush with breathtaking panoramic views.
Good to know: You can do this activity solo or as a pair. Either way, you’ll soar over the resort and its lakes—promising an experience that’s as spectacular as it is unforgettable.
Note that this zip line is also open to children ages 8 and up, provided they are accompanied by an adult. As for pricing, expect to pay 35 euros per person for this unique experience. And we strongly recommend booking in advance, as demand is particularly high during the summer season.
