About us
The association «Slacklions - Slackline Zürich» was founded in 2012 by motivated slackliners with the aim of promoting the then still very young and unknown sport. Since then, we have had the chance to accompany and represent the growing, developing and creative slackline community in the Zurich area. From enthusiastic slackline beginners and ambitious amateur athletes to world-class athletes who have played a key role in shaping the development of the sport - everyone is a part of it!
We train at our cherished and well-maintained, sometimes unusual club spots. Thanks to countless hours of volunteer work, cooperation with Grün Stadt Zürich and the water police, these spots can be used legally and officially for slacklining.
We strive to support slackliners in practicing the various slacklining disciplines, as well as to promote the diverse and enriching sport as a whole and support its development. In order to achieve this, we are in active contact with our members, partner associations and the two national associations «Swiss Slackline» and «Swiss Highline». We also see ourselves as a point of contact for other stakeholders in the urban and rural environment, in order to meet the growing interest in the sport in society together and in a solution-oriented manner.
So don't hesitate to contact us!
