Attendees at the International Highline Meeting festival spend most of their time strung up on tightropes stretched across the Italian Alps in Monte Piana.

Besides the fact that the slackers spend a good part of their days (and nights) on slacklines suspended hundreds of feet above the Italian dolomite Alps, the meeting has all the trappings of a normal festival – a kitchen, a bar, and awesome musical jam sessions. Attendees can also attend a Yoga workshop or take tandem paraglider flights.slack-line-festival-international-highline-meeting-2014-13
