Gatlinburg Ziplines Info
What are Ziplines?
Ziplines are cables mounted on pulleys that, in Gatlinburg, are suspended from tree to tree. The zipliner slides down these cables via a safety harness which is attached to the cables. With most ziplines each “zip” brings you to a platform in a tree where you will then attach to the next zipline and repeat the process. Gatlinburg zipline tours, also known as canopy tours, have guides who go along to ensure the safety of the zipliners. Gatlinburg ziplines offer some incredible views of the Smokies and are an excellent means of exploring nature with a bird’s eye view.
