World’s longest treetop walkway comes with a 73m slide

The world’s longest treetop walkway is set to open in the European summer. 

Senda da Tschemas walkway will wind its way through 1.5km of treetops, 28m above the ground in Lax Switzerland.

It will also have a 73m long slide where visitors can take a fast, fun route back to the ground.

The treetop walkway will offer breathtaking views over the mountain regions of Laax Murschetg and Laax Dorf. 

At the viewing platforms, travellers can learn about the Alps wildlife and plant species.

Senda da Tschemas will be open all year round. In winter, the track will be cleared with an electric snowblower.

“Many of us are dreaming of an idyllic escape in the great outdoors this year, as we look to move forward from the tough months experienced in 2020, and this treetop walk will be the perfect tonic,” LAX spokesperson Martina Calonder said. 

“Ideal for families wishing to reconnect their children with fresh mountain air and wildlife or even roadtrippers through the Alps after a picturesque photo opportunity and a new perspective of the forest, the treetop walk is designed to bring people together, slow us down, and make us stop, breathe, and appreciate the fresh air.”

With the Australian borders currently closed, it may be a while until we can visit. But it is a good one to put on your planning list for when we can eventually travel to Europe again.
