Sunday River Ziplines


Sunday River offers two zipline adventures: Zipline Tours take small groups on a tour through the woods between ski trails on a six-zipline course, and our Twin Zips offer side-by-side zipline action right at the base of the slopes.

Zipline Tours

Six Zipline Course

Sunday River's Zipline Tours fly you through the Maine woods as you cross back and forth over a deep ravine and steam bed just off the ski trails of the South Ridge area in one of the resort's most beautiful spots.  The tour features a series of six lines ranging from 100 to 300 feet in length and speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. Be sure to check out our Winter Ziplining page for more information about taking a tour in the winter months.

Safety

Safety is our top priority. Our guides fit you with state-of-the-art equipment and safety information is reviewed prior to each zipline tour. 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. Our ziplines are designed to use a gravity braking system complemented by an arrester system and our guides. It's hands-free and worry-free fun!
