Sunday River Ziplines and Twin Zips


Sunday River offers two kinds of zipline adventures: Zipline Tours take small groups through the woods on a six-zipline course and finish with a 750-foot Twin Zip back to the base, and Twin Zips, which are also offered separatley from tours, and are perfect for quick side-by-side zipping action and located right at the base of the South Ridge area.

Zipline Tours

Six Zipline Course plus twin zip back!

Sunday River's Zipline Tours take you through the resort's wooded forests, zigging and zagging back and forth over a deep ravine and stream bed located just off the snowless ski trails near the South Ridge base area. The tour features a series of seven lines total with six lines ranging from 100 to 300 feet in length and a seventh line which utilizes the 750-foot Twin Zip back to the base - a fun finale with speeds of up to 25 miles per hour! Be sure to check out our Winter Ziplining webpage for more information about taking a tour in the winter months too.

Zipline guides have trained extensively in the proper techniques and procedures of safety. Each piece of equipment and lines are inspected daily. Our guides will ensure your safety while you have fun! Each guest can fly relaxed, knowing that they are connected with two attachment points on each zipline.
