Gliding above the Tyrolean Alps
The Alpine climbing and adventure park Hornpark near St. Johann in Austria is offering a new attraction, the thrill of sailing high above the snow-covered landscape on its Flying Fox zipline. The regional tourism office said the cable-gliding course is 531-meter-long and runs up to 21 meters above ground. The Flying Fox goes over, among other terrain, a frozen alpine lake. Ticket prices range from 13 euros for children to 20 euros for adults ($17-26). The Flying Fox course is open Sundays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 10 am to 4 pm. (www.hornpark.at)
