In the canton of Fribourg, at Écuvillens airfield, you’ll make a tandem parachute jump that will remain etched in your memory.

Skydiving is an experience that can change your life and introduce you to other passions.

Your instructor and pilot welcomes you to our dropzone at Écuvillens airfield. First you do a few exercises to learn how to behave during the jump. Then we’ll give you protective goggles, a helmet and possibly a suit. It’s normal to be a little nervous. Your worries fade as soon as you enter the plane with your pilot. He has a few thousand jumps under his belt, and that’s reassuring. On the way up, admire the panoramic view of the Fribourg Pre-Alps. After about 20 minutes of ascent, it’s time for the big jump into the void. You approach the aircraft door. Your pilot performs a final check before propelling you out of the aircraft. You experience an impressive freefall of around 50 seconds, during which you get an adrenalin rush like no other. Then the pilot opens the parachute, and it’s ecstasy… You enjoy the rest of the flight without any stress, and land smoothly on the Écuvillens dropzone. Don’t forget to order your video to keep a souvenir of this extraordinary experience. For those who want a similar experience, but without the risk, we offer a free-fall simulator. There’s a free-fall simulator in Sion in the Valais, and another in Winterthur near Zurich.

We have a number of dropzones in French, German and Italian-speaking Switzerland.

Still in the canton of Fribourg, we jump at Épagny en Gruyère airfield. Similarly, in the Bernese Oberland, we parachute from a helicopter at Interlaken and from a plane at Reichenbach. But also in the canton of Lucerne from Beromünster and Triengen airfields. On the one hand, we have a dropzone in the canton of Neuchâtel at Colombier airfield. We also jump from Bex airfield in the canton of Vaud. We also offer tandem jumps in the canton of Solothurn from Grenchen airfield. We also do tandem jumps in Valais at Rarogne airfield and Sion airport. We also have a dropzone in Eastern Switzerland at Sitterdorf airfield. And a dropzone in Ticino at Locarno-Magadino airfield. But also in Germany, near Basel, where we made a tandem parachute jump from Rottweil airfield.

Tandem parachute jump from a helicopter in the Bernese Oberland at Interlaken

From a helicopter, the sensations are different, as you jump from a stationary position. The view is fabulous, with the Eiger massif in front of you, a mythical peak for mountaineers.

When you arrive at Interlaken/Wilderswil airfield, the pilot-instructor takes charge of you. He hands you your equipment and together you take the bus to the Gsteigwiler heliport to pick up your helicopter. After an instruction session in which you learn how to position your arms and head, you’re ready for adventure. The Ecureuil B3 helicopter seats only two tandem passengers and their respective pilots. Everything is now ready, and you head for the helicopter. You take your place on board with your pilot-instructor and a second tandem, just as impatient as you are for the big jump. On the way up, you’ll see the Eiger, an imposing massif if ever there was one. The helicopter quickly gained altitude and stabilized at 4000 m. You’re ready for the jump. What’s more, if you choose the Original jump Grindelwald, your helicopter climbs to 5300 m, well above the Eiger. You fly over Wengen, the little Scheidegg and over the North Face of the Eiger. Then on to Konkordiaplatz, the Aletsch glacier and the Jungfraujoch. In this case, the free-fall time is one minute. You and your instructor approach the helicopter door. One last check and you’re off into the void. The speed of the fall accelerates to almost 200 km/h. Thanks to your goggles, your eyes are wide open. You can see the summit of the Eiger speeding past you and the land getting closer. Nearly 3000 m of freefall before your pilot opens the parachute. You won’t soon forget this breathtaking freefall. For you, this minute out of normality was a total fulfillment, because you overcame your apprehension. Indeed, jumping into a void is not a natural thing to do, nor is it easy to do. Then the descent under your parachute continues smoothly to the Wilderswil dropzone, where your pilot lands gently.
For those wishing to make a tandem jump, we offer a free-fall simulator session.

You can choose from several dropzones throughout Switzerland on our website. Call us if you have any questions

Also in the Bernese Oberland, we made a tandem parachute jump from a plane at Reichenbach. The same applies to the Bex airfield in the canton of Vaud. We also do parachute jumps in the canton of Fribourg at Épagny en Gruyère and Écuvillens. We also jump into the canton of Lucerne from Triengen and Beromünster airfields. We also practice parachuting at the Colombier airfield on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. We also do parachute jumping in the canton of Solothurn at Grenchen. Then we do tandem jumps from Sitterdorf airfield in Thurgau. But also parachuting from Locarno airfield in Ticino. But also in neighbouring Germany, where we have a dropzone near the city of Basel, in Rottweil to be precise.
