Verbier in Switzerland has unveiled the new highest zipline in the world, overtaking the previous highest above Val Thorens in France.
The new Mount 4 Zipline which is expected to operate year-round begins 3,330 metres up, the highest in Europe.
At nearly a mile in length, the 1.4 km long cable, also takes the title of the new longest zipline in the Alps.
Users can reach speeds of up to 100 kph (63mph) on the descent, which totals 383 vertical metres.
The cable begins above the Tortin glacier and descents between Mont-Fort and Les Gentianes.
Those descending the zipline meet first at the Gentianes mountain restaurant at the base of the zip line for instruction and to test the kit.
The zipline has been created by a company called Rope Runner and is reported to have cost 750,000 CHF (Swiss Francs) to create.
