News from all over - Seilpark Gantrischm

A new extreme sport which involves swinging Tarzan-style from tree-to-tree is the latest craze in Switzerland. Thousands of people are flocking to special parks to try the new adrenalin sport 100 feet above the ground.

It involves people launching themselves off specially constructed wooden platforms in the treetops and swinging on a harness to the next tree. Adventure parks in the country's Alpine mountains have reported soaring visitor numbers as the craze took hold this summer.
