Be one of the ”Planica Eagles”

Flying from one of the world’s largest ski-flying hills used to be a dream of flying, reserved for top athletes who have been coming to the valley below Ponce for decades to break milestones and set world records. In Planica, for the first time in history, a man has flown over 100 metres as well as 200 metres, and all in all, more than 40 world records have been set on the slopes of the Planica Valley, the most of any ski jumping centre in the world.

Today, you can experience the sensations of Slovenian Eagles and the world’s jumping elite with the world’s steepest zipline descent over the “Planiška Velikanka”, officially the world’s largest ski-flying hill. The flight will give you the feeling of the heroes who have been setting historical milestones on the ski-flying hill for decades. Your spectacular flight will be 566 m long, reaching speeds of up to 85 km/h in just a few seconds.

You don’t need any further training to make the descent. The device is suitable for participants over 10 years of age and physical restrictions are mainly related to minimum and maximum weight and height. The minimum weight with equipment must not be less than 35 kg and the maximum weight with equipment must not exceed 120 kg (the weight of personal safety equipment is approx. 5 kg). The minimum height required for a person to descend unassisted is 140 cm.

In the case of a tandem descent, children from 5 years of age and upwards with a minimum height of 120 cm may also take part in the tandem descent, accompanied by their parents or guardians, provided that the combined weight of the two participants and their equipment does not exceed 120 kg and that the maximum body weight of the child when wearing a child harness does not exceed 40 kg.

IMPORTANT:

Bookings are only accepted via https://www.planica-zipline.si. On the day of the descent, you must first report to the reception in the main building of the Planica Nordic Centre, and you must be present on the landing platform at least 10 minutes before the booked date to receive your personal safety equipment and to familiarise yourself with the rules of use of the device.

Good luck!
