Hanging Out in the Dolomites.

The International Highline Meeting in Monte Piana, near Misurina, Italy. Balazs Mohai/epa/Corbis

Festival goers talk about the emotional comedown after tent and wellies are packed away for another year, but at the Highline festival in the Italian Dolomites, it’s a more physical thing.

The festival celebrates the extreme sport of slacklining (not to be confused with tightrope-walking) and attendees (slackers) spend their time living – and sleeping – on ropes slung hundreds of metres up in the air.

More trivial pursuits include yoga, music jams and film screenings. It’s held in September.

I visited the Dolomites when I was 14 though I didn’t hang out quite like these guys!

I really do want to see the Dolomites but I think I prefer to stay with my feet on the ground.
