Hi Bette, Lots of good answers & insight here, provided by former Ziptrek guests. Just to clarify a few points, and avoid any possible confusion. Our Eagle tour starts with a gondola ride out of the village (and has some of our longer & steeper ziplines). The Bear tour, our original tour, and the one you inquired about, starts with a van ride out of the village, delivering guests to our course. Our ziplines are not inter-connected to the degree that each successive zipline departs from the same deck / platform that you land on from a previous zip. There is a some walking in between each zip - which is made up of some ground based trail, suspension bridges, viewing decks, and some stairs. All of it broken up in relatively small segments, which take place over the entire tour (2.5 hours). Best described (by most) as fairly casual, at an easy-going pace vs anything too strenuous. All told, it adds up to about 500 metres (1/2 km), divided up in small segments, which take place between each zip, over the course of the entire tour (ie. not all at once). Hope this helps. Cheers!

Greetings L0veToTravelAllOver, I'm of course slightly biased, but our proprietary braking system allows for a gradual decrease in speed as you enter the landing area, followed by a step or 2 on to a deck, or up small ramp to finish. No slamming into springs, or a very abrupt stop at the landing, as you see with some other systems. Many guests (who've done other ziplines) find ours to be the best they've experienced. I believe you'll find them quite smooth,and not harsh or too jerky. Hope this helps. Cheers.
