Assisted Rappel from the Tibetan Bridge in Canillo

Context The Tibetan Bridge Vall del Riu in Canillo, Andorra, is a hanging bridge standing 158 meters above the ground, used for adventure activities such as assisted rappelling. Located in a dense forested and mountainous landscape, it offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the Pyrenean valley. The activity is available year-round, featuring a descent exceeding 150 meters—one of the tallest rappels in the region.

The Experience After meeting your guide and receiving your safety equipment—full-body harness, helmet, and assisted rappelling system—you prepare for the descent. The assisted rappel ensures a controlled, secure descent from the bridge, where strong winds and the sound of the rushing river accompany your journey.
