Skydiving in Interlaken – Tandem jump from a helicopter – From CHF 450.00
CHF 450.00Tandem 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
