Ready to take your highline skills to the next level?

Are you ready to take your slackline skills to new heights—literally?

Whether you want to face your fears of heights, master your first highline steps, or learn how to rig slacklines safely in the mountains, this 5-day workshop offers the adventure of a lifetime.

Under the expert guidance of Samuel Volery, one of the world’s most experienced and innovative highliners, you’ll train in the breathtaking Val d’Anniviers, right next to the famous Hanging Bridge of Niouc.

👉 Only 9 spots available—reserve yours early!

What You’ll Experience in the Highline Workshop

Throughout the week, we’ll rig and train on 3–4 different highlines:

• Two parallel highlines (70m) for direct coaching—Sam will be on a highline just 5m away from you.

• A 30m highline anchored to the Hanging Bridge.

• Possibly there will already be a 200m long highline crossing the valley

You will:

✅ Roll out onto a highline with a HangOver.

✅ Take your first leashfalls and learn to climb the leash.

✅ Try to stand up and walk on your first Highlines

✅ Repeat mounting and walking techniques on a slackline above solid ground to then try it on a highline

✅ Learn the fundamentals of safe highline rigging.

✅ Train side-by-side with Sam, receiving direct demonstrations and feedback.

✅ Learn your first Highline Freestyle Tricks.

✅ Learn to rig highlines from rock faces, trees & artificial structures.

✅ Discover tricks, techniques, and safety practices to build lasting confidence.

✅ Learn to rig with Bungees

Included in the Workshop:

• ✔️ Full participation in the workshop
• ✔️ All highline equipment (except personal harness)
• ✔️ Camping accommodation in Niouc (bring your tent, mat & sleeping bag – or come with your van)

Workshop Requirements

You should be in decent shape (e.g. 2+ pullups or climb 6a). Ideally you can walk a 15-20m long slackline with 2m sag.

It is simply more fun on the highline if you already have some stable basics on the ground. But you are also welcome to participate if you’re not yet there.

We strongly recommend that you learn how to

• Mantle Mount
• Sit Mount (or Chongo-Mount or Knee-Drop-Mount) on a slackline with about 2m sag

Having a strong and clean mantle mount will allow you to do many tries on the highline! If you do not yet have a clean mantle mount you will be exhausted after only a few leash falls.

Extra preparation tips:

• Practice how to start and stop a surf on a rodeoline

What to Bring to the Highline Workshop

• Weatherproof clothing
• Personal harness
• Tent or a van (a hammock will also work)
• Food (shop beforehand—we’re in a remote location.)
• Safety sling + carabiner
• If you have: A HangOver (Rolling device)

Optional but potentially useful:

• Protective gear (gloves, cup, barefoot shoes (skinners), bike pants)
