History of The International Highline Meeting Festival, Monte Piana:

From the friendship of two highliners Alessandro d‘Emilia (Italy) and Armin Holzer, (SouthTyrol), they decided to start this festival in 2012.  It was inspired by their desire to have noteworthy scenery of Monte Piana (Misurina) in the Dolomites, Italy. The aim was to invite professional athletes and enthusiasts around the world to come here, gather, relax and be a part of this event. You can have a great 360 degrees view around the mountains of Auronzo di Cadore, Cortina d’Ampezzo and “Sextner Dolomiten” in those seats for their special shape and position.

For its natural beauty as well as historical importance, the founders chose this place for the festival. The event area is an open air museum to honor the memory of the 18,000 young soldiers who died here during the First World War. The trenches which are 7 km in length are still viewable. Moreover, the highline is an extreme practice on top of mountains and it has already become a model to connect different cultures in respect of the natural surroundings and life.

Some Key Facts about The International Highline Meeting Festival:

  • The attendees, who balance themselves on the slacklines, call themselves “slackers”.
  • The trenches are not visible in the winter because the snow fills in it.
  • Without any competitive features, this is a large gathering for courageous people to sharpen up their skills.
  • The High-liners connect the materials to a strengthened highline because they need to walk out to their designated relaxation spots around 150ft high.
  • This meeting comes under extreme sport category.
  • In this meeting, the “slackers” come to assemble and advance their skills and having a great time by relaxing hundreds of feet in the air.

  • A person who has no fear of heights and love for adventure as well as pushing his\her boundaries, this meeting is perfect for him\her.
  • In general, local sponsors give funds for the festival.

In the Slackline Festival, there is tightrope walking as the rope, which the slackers use, is slightly flatter than tightrope and move side to side or bounce. The founders believe that the mountain is a perfect place for high lining and can stimulate this historic place in a different way. You can spend a good portion of your time or enjoy amazing views and take pretty cool selfies in the hammocks suspended above the Alps. You can also use the provided kitchen, the bar, the great musical jam sessions, Yoga workshops and tandem paraglider flights.

The overly courageous adventure-seekers take this slackline festival to the next level by spending days and nights suspended hundreds of feet. There are 16 hammocks on the main line. The line is around 50m above the ground and 50m in distance. During the whole festival, most of the people stay up on the mountain for a whole week.
