Slacklining is a sport that involves walking on a webbing stretched between two fixed points, which can be trees, artificial poles, or ground anchors, offering numerous possibilities for acrobatic maneuvers.
Unlike traditional tightrope walking, the webbing is dynamic, and slacklining does not use a balance beam. The only way to move and maintain balance on the slackline is to use your body: your arms and legs.
Highlining involves stretching a slackline high between two distant points and crossing it on foot, as if it were on the ground. The highliner is secured by a climbing harness connected to a safety lanyard attached to the slackline by incredible rings.
The more adventurous can practice this aerial sport on the Plateau des Ramées in Lans-en-Vercors, with over 300 meters of space beneath the highline.
