Rome is the Italian city par excellence, the place where some of Europe’s most ancient culture resides. If you have already been to Rome you will already know the beauties that can be found in every corner of the city, and if you are a first-time visitor take the time to take a glimpse to every single thing that Rome has to offer.

In both cases, however, you can decide to live a unique experience and make your stay in the Eternal City even more special than it already is.

We are talking about bungee jumping, the extreme sport activity par excellence. If Rome is already an exciting city, this will certainly make it unforgettable.

Where to bungee jump near Rome?

There are several options you can choose from to jump into the void near the city. What we propose is one of the highest and most unique bridges in Italy. All you have to do is travel a little further away from the capital and reach the Salle Bridge in the Majella National Park in Abruzzo. This bridge, famous and well-known throughout central and southern Italy, has a total height of 100 metres and is considered the highest masonry bridge in Europe. It allows you to enjoy a pure adrenaline jump of 90 metres and, for the first 65 metres, you will feel like you are flying much as if you were a hawk. When you try the first bounce you will realise that the only thing holding you up is the 22-metres long narrow elastic band that will be attached to your ankle.

The elastic rope we're talking about is securely attached to both the jumping platform and your ankles, plus a survival rope in the rare event that the elastic accidentally breaks. This is what makes bungee jumping such an extreme sport, yes, but also a totally safe one.

Throughout the experience, the staff's job will be to make you feel comfortable, calm and prepared and ready to jump and push yourself to the limit!

Before the activity you will be given a step-by-step explanation of the whole procedure. Bungee jumping is, in general, an activity suitable for everyone and requires almost no effort or physical ability.

You have no excuses. The jump is safe and without any danger. The emotional high you feel after jumping is liberating and will give you a feeling of true rebirth. You will feel immensely proud for having challenged and defeated your fears by overcoming your limits.

But it's not over yet. Besides being an incredible experience in itself, an added value is the breath-taking view you will have in front of you, with the viaduct linking the towns of St. Thomas and Salle, from which the bridge takes its name, and which is immersed in one of the most fascinating parks found in Italy.

In fact, the Majella National Park is home to one of the most unique animals and plant species in Europe. After entering this magnificent landscape among the mountains of the area, you can decide to lose yourself in the valleys doing hiking or descend the bridge on a mountain bike.

If you prefer to opt for a culinary treat, you can visit the small old town of Pescocostanzo, a treasure of the Italian Renaissance and Baroque periods.
