Walk? That's too boring for two Italian towns which have come up with a more fun way to travel.
The two towns of Pietrapertosa and Castelmezzano in the Italian Dolomites decided they wanted to attract more tourists.
One suggested it was a shame they could not fly to the other village - and the idea of the "Flight of the Eagles" device - a mile-long metal cable suspended between two peaks - was born.
Those willing to take up the challenge hang from a harness connected to the steel rope and then jump off from a special platform to travel across the valley which is 500m below.
Riders can reach speeds of up to 90mph.
The flights cost between £13 and £21 per trip depending on whether they are taken at the weekend or during the week.
