Amazing! At first, I couldn't do it because it was snowing, they offered a refund but I wanted to do this activity so they offered me to come back later, if the weather was better. Fortunately, then the sun came out and stopped snowing, so me and other 2 people were able to do the zipline and it wasn't scary at all, it was cold but it felt super relaxing. Excellent and good value for money.
