Safety First
Although this is an extreme activity, CableBikes are particularly safe. You wear a harness independently hooked to the cable above. Our guides receive training in safety, rescue and first aid. Our equipment (harnesses, straps, pulleys, etc.) is certified in Europe and the USA. The design and construction of the cables conform to international safety standards and have been tested with loads that give a wide safety margin.
Tips
The cable has the curvature of a smooth arc, so that at the beginning the bike can glide by itself, while at the end it is necessary to pedal. Some people find the pedalling demanding, so it is better to pedal at a good pace right from the start. If you feel any fear, it helps to keep your eyes on the finish line.

The tour
The cables are anchored on one side to a huge rock and on the other to the rock face of the mountain. On both sides there is an iron structure that facilitates the change of direction of the cables.
