Description

Context Hoz de Jaca is a small mountain village in the Tena Valley, sitting at 1,280 metres in the Huesca Pyrenees. Above the Búbal reservoir, with the Tendeñera massif as a backdrop, Europe's longest double zip line was installed in 2009: 950 metres long, reaching 120 metres above the water, with a top speed of 90 km/h. The Pyrenean setting — with views of the reservoir and mountain ridges — makes the jump as much a visual experience as a physical one.

The experience Once you have your ticket (on-site or online), staff kit you out with helmet, goggles and a certified safety harness. An all-terrain vehicle takes you up to the launch platform at the top of the viewpoint. The descent lasts approximately 1 minute at 90 km/h; on arrival at the landing point by the reservoir, the vehicle brings you back to the start. The zip line is a double: two people can jump side by side at the same time. A giant swing is also available at the same facility for those who want a different experience.

Who is it for? Minimum weight 40 kg, from 10 years old (under-18s must be accompanied by a parent). Maximum weight 125 kg. No prior experience needed. Suitable for people looking to conquer their fear of heights in a controlled, safe environment. Not recommended during pregnancy.

Local context The Tena Valley concentrates the highest volume of mountain activities in the Aragonese Pyrenees: Formigal (Spain's largest ski resort), the Panticosa spa, the Maladeta glacier and the Respomuso mountain lakes. The zip line is 10 minutes from Sallent de Gállego and 1 hour from Jaca.

Description

The giant swing is at the same facility as the zip line, on the Hoz de Jaca viewpoint. You are strapped into a harness and launched in a wide arc over the valley, with direct views of the Búbal reservoir and the Pyrenean peaks. Available solo or in pairs (maximum 50 kg weight difference between participants). A different experience from the zip line — slower but equally striking for the sensation of weightlessness and the visual setting.
