In L&#8217;Argenti\u00e8re-La Bess\u00e9e, Roc Aventure offers two giant zip lines that cross the gorges of the Durance: 500 m of cable, about 200 m above the river, and a panoramic round trip to a spectacular natural site, at the gateway to the \u00c9crins National Park. Ideal for discovering the valley&#8230; seen from above.  <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ws-library-ws-video\"><div class=\"wrapper\"><div class=\"group-media\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tyroliennes Gorges de la durance\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Mk53wwAC_sU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ws-library-ws-title aligncenter\"><h2>What is it, concretely?<\/h2><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">After a safety briefing, the team equips you (harness, pulley, helmet) and accompanies you until the start. The flight is <strong>supervised<\/strong> and automatically braked on arrival, then you set off again on the second line to return to the starting point: simple, fluid, and very photo-compatible.
