What to expect
Snowdonia is home to some of the fastest and longest zip lines in the world, set in giant slate quarries above the coast. Riders speed over lakes and quarries at high speed, either lying flat or in pairs, with views of the mountains and the sea. Minimum age, height and weight limits apply, and booking in advance is essential.
Tips before you go
- Book well ahead, as popular slots sell out.
- Check the age, height and weight limits.
