The hammock action is an annual event during the International Highline Meeting at the Monte Piana in the Dolomites, Italy. In total 26 people came together to form a colorful and especially designed rainbow in 17 hammocks. The idea to sleep in a hammock on such an incredible place was born at the very first Highline meeting at the Monte Piana in the year 2012. The adventurous pioneers Armin Holzer, Alex D?emilia and Igor Scotland from Ticket to the Moon hammocks, were so impressed by this experience that they wanted to share it with their friends. In the following years this concept developed and on September 10th 2015 this unique project took place for the third time. A symbol of peace and a tribute to the past. This place was chosen not only for its natural beauty but for its historical importance. This area is an open air museum to honor the memory of the 18.000 young soldiers who died here during the First World War. Its 7 km of trenches are still visible. THE STUNT WAS PERFORMED AND DESIGNED BY A PROFESSIONAL TEAM OF ATHLETES AND RIGGERS.
