We all love some good adventure and visit places that are sometimes a bit different. The hint of fear and excitement that builds up makes the trip even more adventurious. Enjoying places and unusual festivals of different cities is one thing that you should do once in lifetime.
One of the most chill festivals we’ve ever heard of is The International Highline Meeting festival but it’s not for the faint heart. This festival might be one of the most terrifying thing you will do. The people participating spend most of their time strung up on tightropes stretched across the Italian Alps in Monte Piana at very high altitudes.
The people who attend this festival call themselves “slackers” because of the slacklines they balance themselves on. This terrifying sport differs from tightrope walking. In tightrope walking the rope has a slightly flattened shaped and has slack. The ropr can move bounce and side-to-side.
Besides the fact that the mountaineering aficionados spend most of the time of their days and sometimes nights on slacklines suspended hundreds of feet above the Italian dolomite Alps. But the stunning mountain views is what they crave for. The meeting has all the trappings of a normal festival a bar, a kitchen, and awesome musical jam sessions. The slackers can also take tandem paraglider flights and attend a Yoga workshop.
