Skydive Tandem Jump Switzerland
Your certified tandem skydiving instructors will explain the exact procedure for your skydive and familiarize you with the equipment and safety regulations. Ready for your tandem jump? After the briefing and fitting of the parachute equipment, you’ll board the plane with your tandem jump instructor. During the ascent, you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy the fantastic views of the majestic Swiss mountains and glaciers of the Bernese Oberland, Central Switzerland, Eastern Switzerland, the Swiss Plateau, or the Zurich area.

At over 4,000 meters above sea level, you’ll get ready for your tandem jump over the Bernese Oberland, Zurich, Locarno, Grenchen, the Rhine Valley, or Sitterdorf. One last check, and you’re ready to go! Against the breathtaking backdrop of the Swiss Alps, you’ll jump out of the plane with your skydive. You race toward the ground at incredible speed, the wind tugging at your jumpsuit and whistling in your ears. After about 45–55 seconds of freefall, the parachute opens, slowing your seemingly unstoppable descent.
Filled with a sense of bliss after this adrenaline rush, you now glide gently toward the ground beneath your parachute and have the opportunity to take in the view of Switzerland from above at your leisure. Right in front of one of the skydiving centers in Reichenbach, Zurich, Central Switzerland, Locarno, Eastern Switzerland, St. Gallen, or Grenchen, your tandem skydiving instructor gently brings you back to earth—skydiving at its finest!
Which jump suits me?
Jump out of the airplane
The beloved classic
- Maximum altitude: jumps from up to 4,000 meters. That means nearly 60 seconds of free fall, depending on the location.
- The price: Cheaper than the helicopter, since more skydivers can fly on each flight.
- The feeling: You glide out the door. The wind is immediately upon you. Freefall at its best.
Jump out of the helicopter
The exclusive VIP experience
- The "Exit": You stand on the edge of the platform before you jump. What a crazy moment! This is where you experience the most intense sensation of freefall.
- The sightseeing flight: The ascent in the helicopter is an experience in itself, offering panoramic views of the Alps.
- Exclusivity: Small groups, very private. Perfect for special occasions or as a luxurious gift.
Solo Jump
Want to get involved?
- Solo skydiving: The ultimate adventure. You’ll jump with your own parachute, accompanied by experienced instructors.
- The Course: In introductory courses (AFF), you'll learn the theory and practice needed to get started on your own.
- Who is this for? For anyone who finds a tandem jump isn't enough and wants to learn the ropes.

An awesome experience. The weather was great, and the briefing was personalized, friendly, and engaging. Walking to the plane, that feeling of finally getting on board. The atmosphere is very laid-back and relaxed, yet at the same time focused and professional. The same goes for the jump. An amazing feeling—I highly recommend it....

A tandem jump is statistically considered to be very safe. All providers are monitored by the FOCA (Federal Office of Civil Aviation). Each parachute has a main parachute and a reserve parachute, which is even opened automatically (by a computer/cypres) in an emergency.
Skydiving is dependent on the weather. In case of rain, low clouds or strong winds, we will not jump. In this case, we will inform you (usually the evening before or in the morning) and look for an alternative date free of charge. Safety always comes first!
- Weight: Usually up to 90-105 kg (including clothing).
