A suspension bridge can be classified among attractions with a high emotional impact and can significantly impact the psycho-physical state of a healthy individual. From this it can be seen how an individual in a precarious and/or inadequate state of psycho-physical health or in a body weakened by an ongoing pathology may prove to be too important and inadequate a commitment. However, under no circumstances should it be taken lightly and should therefore be avoided.
Given what has just been said, there are cases in which the use of the Tibetan bridge is prohibited by regulation, since, as mentioned, it is an aerial attraction with a high psycho-physical impact.
The purchase of an entrance ticket involves the signing of a contract with specific general conditions of sale, rules and prohibitions. It must therefore be assumed that, once the ticket has been purchased, the general rules of the facility and the consequent restrictions have been carefully read and accepted.
In compliance with the general regulations, read and accepted during the purchase phase, if you have nevertheless purchased the entry ticket and one of the restrictions listed below is applicable to you, you are aware that a contractual violation of the rules is being committed system general. This, in full and lucid awareness of one's intellectual abilities and responsibilities, one assumes full responsibility for one's actions, indemnifying the Municipality of Sellano (Perugia, Italy) from any liability.
For what is listed above, the trained technical staff present at the facility has the full right to decide to prevent access to a person if they are not deemed suitable to ride the attraction. Under no circumstances will refund requests be accepted for the matters listed above.
The right of withdrawal cannot be exercised.
As provided in article 59 of the Consumer Code of the Italian law (Legislative Decree 206/2005), which specifically regulates the exceptions to the right of withdrawal, it is provided that "The right of withdrawal referred to in articles 52 to 58 , for distance contracts and contracts negotiated away from business premises is excluded". Among other hypotheses, the non-exercisability of the right of withdrawal extends to contracts which have as their object the supply of "services relating to leisure activities, if the sales contract provides for a specific date or period of execution" (see art. 59 of the Cod. Cons. lett. n). In this case, the purchase of the online ticket for the Sellano Tibetan Bridge, having the specificity of time, i.e. being enjoyable - only - on the date and time slot selected by the customer during the purchase phase, falls within the cases listed above, for which the right of withdrawal cannot be exercised.
Collecting and donning the technical safety harness does NOT take place at the Sellano departure station, but rather in an equipped room adjacent to the tourist info point (you can locate these on the interactive map). Once you have completed the technical dressing, you walk for about 250 meters through the historic centre, following the signs that lead to the departure station.
In periods in which it is also possible to return via the Tibetan bridge from Montesanto towards Sellano, the technical dressing for the return leg is carried out at the Montesanto station.
Once worn, technical equipment must be treated with the utmost care.
The shuttle service can be booked exclusively online with the specific "Bridge + Shuttle" package. The service has reduced availability and a limited number of seats (by default, 18 per hour). The shuttle cannot be booked on site and the total availability of seats is that indicated online. If it does not appear online it means that the places are sold out and please do not ask customer service if there are still places available. Therefore, be careful to always purchase the package service in advance.
The shuttle timetable is out of phase with the bridge time slot to allow all users of each time slot to cross it in the necessary time and make a short visit to the village of Montesanto: 1 hour entry time slot + 45 minutes of crossing + 45 minute stop in Montesanto. The shuttle stop in Montesanto, which can be located on the map on the site, is at the beginning of the village of Montesanto. To reach it, once you leave the bridge, simply continue for 580 meters away (+44 meters of positive difference in altitude going up) following the dirt road that halfway leads to the historic centre, or continuing to the shuttle stop, skirting the old walls of the village.
If you booked the bridge crossing only, your only option is returning on foot via the panoramic path. You should know that 85% of the people who cross the bridge return on foot. The path does not have particular technical difficulties, it starts near the Montesanto arrival station and descends into a wooded environment, leading in about 30/40 minutes to Lake Vigi and in the same amount of time it goes up again, via path or asphalt road, to the parking areas (sports field), then to the village of Sellano. You can find the characteristics of the path by clicking on the GPS track in the interactive map on our Visit Sellano website. Also on the map you will find the Montesanto shuttle stop indicated.
FROM MONTESANTO TO LAKE VIGI (direct return path)
Route length: 1.1km
Average duration: 30/45 min
Average speed: 2.9 km/h
Maximum altitude: 745 m
Minimum altitude: 525 m

FROM LAKE VIGI TO SELLANO
Leaving the Lochness Pizzeria Restaurant behind you, cross the bridge and continue left on the asphalt road or path (which begins when the road starts to climb) in 1,500 meters you arrive at the parking areas (sports field area) and, continuing for another 500 meters or so, continue the climb to reach Sellano.
This path starts north of the town of Montesanto, on the left immediately after the shuttle bus stop, and descends onto a gravel road entering the bush in the Vigi valley below. It then comes to a stream where, at times of abundance of water, the exact crossing spot tis not immediately visible. Continuing through a wooded environment, the trail descends to the Rote waterfalls, located at the bottom of the valley (their water flow depends on the season and rainfall). There are periods of the year when there is a lot of water, others when they are nearly dry. Once reached the waterfall, the road continues on level ground through the vegetation and in half an hour leads to Lake Vigi and the Loch Ness Restaurant-Pizzeria. From there one can go up via the asphalt road to the car park and football fields, or via a 2km path leading into Sellano.

When the forecast warns of bad weather, don't panic! You ask us if it is possible to change the date or refund the ticket: as specified in the general conditions of sale (CGV) at the time of purchase, neither are possible. In case of rain without further weather conditions which the staff considers not to be dangerous, the facility remains open. You also ask if we can notify you on the same day; this is not realistically possible either. Just as we cannot know what the real weather conditions will be like the day before and the next. See live streaming webcams
Attention! if you voluntarily decide not to show up and the facility is open regularly, entry is considered lost!
In the presence of certain adverse weather conditions, such as strong winds, a very intense storm, lightning, snow or ice, for reasons of public safety, access to the bridge may be blocked without notice. This could be for a few minutes, for an hour or more and this is only known on the spot. It is not possible to foresee it. Just like a concert or a football match, if it rains and you don't show up you will not be refunded and you cannot change the date. Watch the live streaming webcams positioned at the Sellano Tibetan bridge.
This decision can also be made at the last minute. In case of temporary closure, users booked at the relevant time period will be able to access in subsequent time slots, with the prior authorization of the staff on duty. In the event that the bridge should not be accessible again during the day, the management will make a decision on the matter exclusively with the people physically present at the facility.
Under no circumstances will there be a refund of the ticket.
Read carefully the advice given below regarding suitable technical clothing
The crossing of the Tibetan bridge should absolutely not be underestimated, it is a mountain environment (700 m above sea level and 175 m high) in a narrow valley where air currents can be channeled, which in combination with rain or sudden storms must be considered carefully.
The choice of technical clothing is important, including appropriate footwear (also read the following answer and the specific answers in the FAQ). It frequently happens, despite warnings and recommendations, that we rescue unprepared people with inadequate clothing, sometimes in a state of hypothermia or soaked in the rain.
On summer days it is necessary to have: a backpack with plenty of water, a hat with visor, sunglasses and protective cream. The t-shirt must completely cover the stomach and hips and tuck into the trousers as the technical harness, tight to the body, could abrade the skin with rubbing and sweat and cause irritation. The same applies if you wear shorts, as there are two leg loops and a waist belt. Full-length trousers are always strongly recommended, unless you have thick and protective shorts. On days of large influx, waiting queues may form, both in the dressing area and in the boarding area at the departure station. The crossing of the bridge with a large influx of people may slowe down, so you need to be adequately equipped with what you need based on the weather and also plan for it should it change suddenly.
On windy days or with uncertain/variable weather and/or with possible rain it is necessary to have with you: backpack, hat, a technical shirt and a technical jacket or wind-rainproof k-way and long trousers. Conditions on the mountains change rapidly, they should not be taken lightly and one cannot be unprepared for events, suspended over a Tibetan bridge. Returning in an emergency is not so immediate.
it is strictly forbidden to walk on the Tibetan bridge with unsuitable footwear, such as sandals or slippers.
FOOTWEAR PROHIBITED
Beach slippers, flip flops, espadrilles, clogs of any kind, shoes with leather soles, with heels (even low ones) or with wedges. Shoes without laces and/or without heel support are also prohibited.
SUITABLE FOOTWEAR
The shoes suitable for walking the Tibetan bridge are closed shoes with laces or buckle, heel support and non-slip rubber sole. They must guarantee maximum stability and grip on the step.
We strongly suggest you use sneakers and/or trekking shoes, also because the return path is dirt-cobbled.
Please note: if you show up wearing unsuitable footwear, for the sake of your safety you will not be allowed to access the bridge. Refunds are not granted.
Children and people of any age cannot access the bridge if they are less than 130 cm tall.
This depends on the length of the anchor lounge on the safety lifeline. However, a child may be eligible for technical assistance even if he or she is slightly smaller in height. Before purchasing the ticket, we suggest asking the operators at the bridge to carry out this technical check on the person and, only subsequently, possibly purchasing the ticket, online or on site. Refunds are not provided.
If you decide to purchase the ticket on site, consider that purchasing online is not only more convenient but also guarantees you a place, i.e. you can book in advance according to the real availability of the chosen day/time slot. Especially in periods of great influx.
Likewise, infants and children below the pre-established minimum height cannot access the bridge, even if carried by their parents in backpacks or baby carriers.
Minors must be - exclusively - accompanied by their parent, without the possibility of delegating third parties, as provided for by the specific municipal regulation.
The minor must also be accompanied when crossing the bridge; if this is not possible, it is sufficient for the parent to be present on site during the entrance checks.
If a minor shows up at the entrance turnstiles, in the absence of a parent, the staff, in the event of clear doubts about verifying their age, may request to see an ID: passport and/or identity document and/or driving license (only if Italian citizens) in accordance with the provisions of the Royal Decree of 6 May 1940, No. 635 - Approval of the Regulation for the execution of the Consolidated Law of 18 June 1931-ix, no. 773, of the Public Safety Laws” in Art. 17 – The obligation, imposed by law on those who request the purchase of certain goods or the provision of certain services, to demonstrate their personal identity, by showing their identity card, concerns exclusively operations carried out with the personal intervention of the clients.
If the person is a minor or refuses to provide their personal details to the staff on duty responsible for the control, they will not be admitted to the facility and a refund of the ticket will in no way be granted.
We have also thought about this. On our website in the lower navigation menu (from smartphone) or at the top right (from desktop) you will find an interactive map where all the on-site services are located including: the areas where parking is permitted or prohibited, the tourist info point with the technical dressing area, the shuttle service stops, the departure station of the Tibetan bridge, where to eat, where to sleep and much more. The map can also be used in navigation mode from your smartphone, to take you where you need.
Therefore, if you find the number [0 = zero] indicated to the right of the time slot it means that there are no more tickets available for purchase, both online and on site. Many ask if there is a possibility of vacancies becoming available; no this cannot happen as the booked tickes have been sold without the possibility of canceling the reservations or changing the date/time slot.
No, changing the date and/or time slot once the ticket has been purchased is not possible.
The ticket, once issued by the computer system, both online and on site, is valid only for the date and time slot chosen during the purchase phase. It is not even possible to force a date/time change on the system. Therefore, pay close attention when purchasing not to get the date on the calendar in the Web shop wrong.
Entry to the bridge is prohibited for people with a waist/hip circumference greater than 120 cm and/or an inner thigh circumference greater than 66 cm. These are the size limits allowed by the safety harness. Refunds are not provided. Many of you ask us if an extra 3-4 cm on the waist or thigh is allowed. We cannot help but reiterate that the measurements indicated are the maximum allowed by the technical harness.
No animal, regardless of breed or size, can access the Tibetan bridge, not even if transported in a special backpack. As required by current municipal regulations. Nor can the pet be left unattended on site and/or locked in a vehicle. By the Italian law this is a criminal offense.
The law is clear, animals cannot be left unattended or locked in vehicles, as provided in the Art. 672 of the Penal Code - Failure to keep and mismanage animals. Likewise, anyone who finds an animal unattended and/or locked in a vehicle in conditions of danger, can act of their own conscience by freeing it, even by breaking a glass out of necessity, as provided for in the art. 54 of the penal code of Italian law.
Unlike the ordinary ticket, the digital voucher is not initially linked to any entry date or time slot.
The gift voucher can be found in the Webshop under "gift ideas"
The gift voucher DOES NOT include or combine the shuttle service. Since the user has 6 months time to convert it into an online booking, the shuttle service may not be available.
The voucher must be converted by the recipient into a booking (online) and is valid for 180 days from the date of issue, i.e. from receipt of the gift voucher. That is, the recipient will have to book their journey across the bridge within this validity period, according to the actual availability of places present in the online system on the chosen day.
To make the booking, the recipient must click on the link received via email and finalise the booking by selecting a specific available entry date and time slot.
During the purchase phase, the voucher can be personalised with a private message and a card template chosen from those available, which the recipient will receive as a personalised card via email.
Attention: once the digital booking has been made, the recipient will not receive further notifications from the system and the operation cannot be canceled or repeated. That is, once the entry date and time have been selected, it will no longer be possible to change them.
To access the bridge, simply use the QRcode received via mail with the gift voucher.
First of all, you should know that we use a very advanced e-commerce system, operating 24-7, according to the most modern international security standards.
If you are unable to make the purchase it is almost certainly a problem with your internet connection, which may be unstable, or with your payment system. If our platform is temporarily out of service for maintenance, a message will notify you as soon as you enter the Web shop.
Your bank may have sent you one or more security codes via text message or on the Gateway App to confirm and complete the transaction (e.g. two-step verification via message). Be careful, this is the step where many stumble!
Should it take more than 10 minutes to complete the operation, you will have to repeat it. The time is set by the interbank systems, for security reasons and does not depend on our ticketing system.
You may have had a problem with the internet connetion during the purchase phase.
Your card may not be enabled for online purchases.
The credit on the card was insufficient to finalise the purchase.
Warning: with each payment attempt the system temporarily "freezes" (10-15 min) the credit while waiting to finalise the operation, to avoid overbooking and to give you purchasing priority over other people who connected after you. However, if the operation is not successful (for the cases listed above) and you try to pay again immediately, until the banking system releases your credit availability (sometimes even 1-2 hours are needed) you will have to have the same amount on the card to carry out a second transaction. For example, if the payment of 100 euros was not successful, you will need to have at least 200 euros on your card to immediately proceed with a second attempt. This is how bank check systems work.
However, you can check the payment status in your personal area of our site, in the Payments > Status section.
Green status – "Completed" indicates that the operation was successful and you will immediately receive your tickets by email.
Orange status – indicates an alert or anomaly in the purchasing process; wait a while and/or repeat the operation. For example, the wording "Payment being processed" in most cases means that the payment was not successful. In this case we suggest you cancel and repeat the operation all over again. Don't worry, no withdrawals have been made to your card! The withdrawal occurs only after a successful operation (Green status > Completed).
Red status – In this case there could be two issues: the payment was rejected by your bank, or the payment was not successful and you need to repeat it. Try repeating the purchase process all over again, paying attention to the validation codes sent to your smartphone.
In the event of failure in the purchasing phase, one is inclined to think that our online sales system is not working properly. This is not the case in 99.9% of cases, the cause is to be attributed to what is described above. Arm yourself with patience and try again.
Park in the mapped parking areas, reachable via our interactive map on the website.
Then walk towards the historic centre and follow the signs. Keep the bell tower of the church of Santa Maria Assunta as a reference as you pass it (after a visit) to enter the small historic centre. The bridge entrance station is located at the highest point of the village behind the old town hall, recognizable by the small bell tower on the roof. The access to the departure station is on the left side of the building. Go to the interactive map to locate and reach it or follow the signs.
You can find the updated timetables and the opening/closing calendar of the Tibetan bridge in our tourist portal in the "buy - book" Webshop section, as part of the purchasing process.
Warning: do not rely on information found on other unofficial sites or channels and only refer to our official website.
To access the turnstiles you have two options:
the recommended one: at the entrance turnstiles, scan the QRcode directly from your smartphone (with maximum brightess), opening the PDF of the ticket received by email and clicking on the QRcode to enlarge it. Or, print the ticket received after purchase and scan the QR code in front of the turnstile reader. If you can, avoid printing on paper.
If the purchase is successful, the system immediately generates and sends the entry ticket(s) in PDF format to the email address you entered during registration.
First of all, you can check the status of your orders yourself in your online account, created when registering at the Webshop, under: My account > order status >tickets
Here you can check whether an order was successful or not, then also see the tickets that have been issued (or not). If they were not issued, you had a problem with the payment process.
If you do not receive the email with your ticket within a few minutes of purchase, check your junk mail (Spam) and/or the "Promotions" section of your email browser. If you can't find the ticket there either, contact us by email: we will check and, if necessary, resend it. In almost all cases, failure to receive the digital ticket is caused by a problem on your network or in the spam box in your email browser.
Please ensure that the email address used during registration is correct and in use. Sometimes it may happen that you enter an invalid or incorrectly written email address. We also advise against registering through a social network, because it frequently happens that the email used on these platforms is dated and no longer accessible by users. However, if you have opted for this option, you will have to prove your identity to avoid possible homonyms before receiving the ticket. In this case please contact us.
Yes, the journey is not recommended and/or should be considered in the following cases:
in case of cardiac pathologies advising against strong emotions;
in case of dizziness and vertigo;
in case of pregnancy (since it is mandatory to wear a safety harness which could cause compression of the abdomen).
With the specified credit cards, rechargeable ones with sufficient credit and ATM pay (enabled for online purchases).
Exclusively by credit card, rechargeable (with sufficient credit) or ATM. Attention, cash is not accepted on site!
EU Regulation 2020/746 – Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS and UAS operations in the Municipality of Sellano PG, Italy).
Attention: within the Sellano municipal territory it is NOT permitted to fly UAS without prior authorisation.
aApplication for exemption may be requested via mail to the municipal administration, solely for demonstrable initiatives of a promotional and territorial marketing, documentary, safety and monitoring nature of flora and fauna or by local authorities and law enforcement agencies.
On 31 December 2020, the new Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/746 officially entered into force, containing amendments to the previous Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/947 relating to Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), more commonly known as Drones .
In fact, the National Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) announced through an official press release that as of 31 December 2020 the national regulations regarding operations with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) have lapsed, transferring a large part of the regulations under the responsibility of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
The Regulation entered into force six months later than the previous date communicated (1 July 2020), due to the measures adopted to contain the pandemic brought by Covid-19.
If you are requesting authorisation to overflight with SAPR (drones) you will have to fully comply with the above-mentioned regulation.
If this EU regulation, for the vehicle of the category and subcategory in your possession, provides for an authorisation to overfly municipal airspace; you will be required to act accordingly, forwarding a specific request accompanied by a detailed motivation.
If you fly a RPAS, the legislation defines that you must know this law in detail.
Attention: under no circumstances is flying over areas with large gatherings of people permitted.
Mandatory insurance
The rule that provides for compulsory insurance is valid for the national territory and was established by the Third ENAC Regulation in force since 15 December 2019. In particular, art. 32 of the aforementioned regulation states that "It is not permitted to conduct operations with a SAPR unless insurance concerning liability towards third parties, adequate for the purpose, has been stipulated and is valid".

Any omission to comply with current laws on the subject and/or what is listed above will be punishable in civil and/or criminal proceedings.
When you choose an entry time slot during the purchase phase, for example from 10:00 to 10:59, it means that you will be able to access the turnstiles no later than that time frame. So be punctual in showing up at the turnstiles, no later than your booked time.
Yes, this is possible online, in the Web shop.
During the online ticket purchase phase on our site, the time slots indicate the actual availability in the different time slots. We strongly advise you to book well in advance during the summer period or during holidays (high season) to ensure access to the bridge and availability of places.
It is necessary to respect the entry time slot chosen during the purchase phase.
Access to the bridge is managed in a computerized way, through turnstiles connected to online and on-site booking systems and automatically controls access flows. However, there are cases in which if the delay is generated by a large influx of people to the system, it will be the responsibility of the operators to manually manage the system access programming. The computer system is able to understand the trend of influx times, delays and adjust automatically. So, if you happen to be in line and are afraid of not getting in, don't worry, the system automatically regulates access.
It is necessary to purchase all tickets in the same entry time slot, even with different purchase operations.
We recommend staying together and showing up at the turnstiles together, as on the Tibetan bridge you walk in single line, without the possibility of backing up or overtaking the people in front of you.
It is mandatory to use exclusively the safety aids provided by our organisation.
The rental cost of the safety harness is included in the entrance ticket price.
The Tibetan bridge is manned by trained staff; these are specialised operators who, in case of need, intervene by providing the necessary assistance.
The average crossing time depends on the season and the actual influx of users to the facility.
On average, with low influx, the time can be approximately 30-45 minutes. In case of high influx the times can be extended, even to 1 hour, or more.
Once you arrive at the Montesanto station, an operator collects your safety harness and you can visit the small village.
The return can be made on the return path that descends towards Lake Vigi. The return time also depends on the influx of people and personal conditions. Reaching the lake on average takes 30 minutes and another 45 minutes to go up from the lake and return to the centre of Sellano.
There are no discounts for institutions, professional categories, protected categories or age groups.
Travel agencies, tour operators specialising in outdoor products and groups can benefit from a group discount starting from 20 people. They can contact us by registering in the B2B section or by writing us an email.

We cannot know for sure, given the vastness of attractions present throughout the world.
What we can say with certainty is that the Tibetan Bridge - with a discontinuous tread - which connects Sellano, which is part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy, to the hamlet of Montesanto extends into the void for 517.5 meters at 175 meters height above the Vigi river valley and it takes 1023 steps to cross it! We know that, together with the Tibetan bridge of Arouca 516 in Portugal, it is the highest in Europe.
However, the Sellano Tibetan bridge has the unique characteristic of being uphill, with 68 meters of positive difference in height between the two stations. The two bridges are almost equal in both length and height; a nice twinning. So if you are planning a holiday in Umbria, Sellano and its bridge are an adrenaline-filled stop not to be missed!
In the so-called "poor man's war" in Italy there are various localities playing "smart" competing for the non-existent primacy of the world-longest single-span Tibetan bridge. The longest in the world of those known today (which is NOT in Italy but in Czech Republic) is the Sky Bridge 721, 721 meters long). The Sellano Tibetan bridge is, above all, extremely thrilling and in any case, for lovers of statistics, in the TOP 10 in the world.
