Armenia will have the world’s longest zip-line.

With zip-lines, extreme sports lovers are offered to pass over canyons, forests and waters, at a height of between a few hundred meters up to one and a half kilometers, and at a speed of up to 160 km per hour .

The Yell Extreme Park opened in Armenia one year ago. It is unique for the entire region, and in the future, it aspires to become the longest zip-line in the world.

“First and foremost, the Yell Extreme Park project is aimed at promoting the development of tourism,” its director, Tigran Chibukhyan, told Armenian News-NEWS.am. “In particular, it is designed for tourists who are interested in active forms of recreation.”

The Yell Extreme Park is located in Yenokavan village, several kilometers from Ijevan town, on a hilltop surrounded by forests and deep gorges.

Both local and foreign specialists, especially from Austria and France, have taken part in the construction of this zip-line.

“The zip-line was built in compliance with international standards,” added Chibukhyan. “There has been no accident to this day, and we explain the safety rules before each flight.
