Here’s what you need to know before you zip-line for the first time.

1. Is Zip-Lining Safe?

On the whole, zipline has a reputation for being both fun and safe.

To keep yourself safe at a zip-line course, just follow the rules on any signboard, and listen carefully to the staff’s instructions. Keep your safety gear on at all times.

If you forget something or are unsure at any point, don’t hesitate to ask a guide about it.

Choose a zipline company that has highly trained guides, regularly inspect and update their equipment and have their parks inspected regularly.

That will help you to have fun without worrying about the details.
So, If you’re wearing the right clothing and just follow directions you will have a safe and exhilarating experience on zip lines.

2. Is Zip-Lining Scary?

To be honest: Yes, it’s scary, but not terrifying. Zip lines will definitely make your heart race from the sheer adrenalin rush. The scariest part of riding a zip line is jumping off the platform. At that moment you have to fight your natural instincts and place trust in your guides and equipment to finally make that jump — but it’s totally worth it. You’ll feel completely free as you defy gravity and zoom for miles above the trees enjoying the amazing views.

Don’t let the anxiety hold you back from going out and challenging yourself. A little fear is completely normal, but you’ll feel how awesome it is as soon as you feel the rush of the wind against your face

You’ll find the experience so exciting that you’ll want to take off again as soon as you finish your first ride and you may become an addict.

3. Does Ziplining Require You to Be in a Great Shape?

Haven’t gone to the gym in a while? Never mind — ziplining is friendly to people of many levels of physical ability. While you grip the handles, you’re actually supported entirely by the harness, so it’s not like you need to hold yourself up with your upper-body strength. You may experience a little bit of stress on your ankles and knees as you come to the landing platform, but guides typically reach out to help riders during that process.

Don’t worry that you are not in a great physical shape, just try it out

If you want to experience the sensation of flight without the risk factors that accompany parachuting out of a plane or bungee jumping off a bridge, then Zip lining is just for you.

And If you’d like to try zip lining in a controlled and safe environment spending an unforgettable vacation, hurry to Tsaghkadzor Town where you can have a rest at our comfortable hotel “Alaska Resort”. We can promise that it’s an experience unlike any you’ve experienced before.
