5-Day Highline Workshop – Niouc, Switzerland

📅 9 – 14 September 2026

  • 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
