This Must Be The One

Tailwind and six inches water under the keel – this is all a sailor needs in order to be happy. A highliner also enjoys the wind in his hair but he only gets a kick out of it when he feels a lot of air between him and the ground. The more dizzying the spot, the better! This is why Sebastién Brugalla and his team decided to put up their highline between the 4000 m high Aiguilles du Diable at the Mont-Blanc massif. It can barely get more extreme than that. But who says that one necessarily needs to go to the mountains for highlining if there are such beautiful skyscrapers in the middle of Paris? The two office towers of the Les Mercuriales are only 120 m high but that is compensated by a large crowd that is watching in amazement. For the highliner , it doesn’t really make a big difference. He only aks himself whether the view over the roofs of Paris can really compete with the mountain panorama of the Mont Blanc.
