While Tuscany is famous for beautiful views and you'll find incredible surroundings no matter where you turn, it is hard to get a proper eagle eye view of all of that loveliness unless you're willing to go hiking. Now, a hike in Tuscany makes for a wonderful day out, don't get us wrong, and you'll find plenty of excellent places to hike in the region with Garfagnana, Lunigiana, Casentino, and the Florentine hills all boasting famous trails. However, maybe you want a more thrilling way to appreciate the great beauty, maybe you don't want to have to sweat and walk for hours to take those most impressive of views in, maybe you want to have a special adventure while on vacation in Tuscany. Well, if that is the case and you have found a villa with pool in Lucca, then why not try out zip lining over a stunning valley with a jewel-toned lake, lush green forestry, pretty towns and villages, craggy cliffs and impressive peaks, and more besides?
Said valley is Vagli Sotto in Lucca, where you will find Vagli Park, an adventure park offering several zip line experiences, a suspended bridge that also makes the most of the stunning surrounding landscape, and a unique sculpture park called the Park of Honour and Dishonour in which statues of famous figures are on display without a clear distinction as to which category one should place them. While the other elements of the park are interesting, it is certainly the incredible zip line experience that draws the majority of visitors who come to this corner of the region.
1500m long, reaching a height of 350m and speeds of up to 130km/h, and lasting just two minutes, this zip line is not only set within an especially scenic location but it is also extremely thrilling! If you're looking for proper adrenaline rush, then this is just the thing for you. Not for the faint of heart, this is a wonderful and unforgettable way to take in the stunning landscape of the area while on holiday in Lucca.
There are three different options for the flight - you can go with angel (flying with your body parallel to the ground like an angel or Superman), freestyle, and seated – it's entirely up to you. You will, however, likely be glad to hear that no matter what way you undertake the zip line at Vagli Park, you will find an incredible strong steel cable, anchored to a platform, and manned by experienced professionals who will be on hand to help you wear your zip line harness safely, according to the flight style that you have chosen. Then, once you're secure, you can start your fast but wonderfully thrilling flight across the lake and over the old town of Vagli Sotto, at a whopping speed of 130 km/h!
Accessible to all, there is no age limit to try out the zip line, although you must be a minimum weight of 35kg and a maximum weight of 130kg to undertake the trip and, if you're going with another person for a double flight, you can only have a maximum weight of a combined 145kg with a weight difference between the participants of no more than 40kg for the angel double flight in order to ensure your safety. So, as long as you meet these requirements and as long as you're brave enough, you're ready to experience it for yourself! Prices start at €49 for a single flight and at €70 for a double flight and can be booked using the online booking system on their website.
So, book your vacation rental in Lucca and then come experience her gorgeous scenery in the most exciting way possible by visiting Vagli Park and trying out their amazing zip line!
