The airplane flight to altitude is approximately 15 minutes, which is longer than the approximately 8 minutes it takes in the helicopter.

We can only offer handcam video/photos options from the helicopter where we can offer both handcam and camera flyer (video/photos) from the airplane, however camera flyer is subject to availability.

We can take up to 9 tandems from the airplane where we can only take 2 tandems from a helicopter.

The views from both locations are both beautiful. You are closer to the mountains when you are jumping from the helicopter but you see less of the mountain range.

When you jump from the airplane you see more of the Swiss Alps mountain range, the lakes and on very clear days you can see the Matterhorn.

We can take up to 9 tandems when jumping from an airplane or 2 tandems from a helicopter.

We jump from 4000m (13,000ft) out of the helicopter or airplane.  Dependent on weather conditions and air traffic we can jump from 4600m (15,000ft) out of the airplane for additional CHF 35.00 – this option can only be determined by the pilot on the day.

We recommend booking your skydive for the earliest time slot available on the earliest day you can.  In the event your jump is cancelled due to weather at least you have the option to reschedule to a later time slot or day.  The weather in the mountains can change quickly but we find the weather in the mornings are more favourable.

Due to air traffic, we cannot guarantee the high jump. We can make a remark in your booking and if it is possible on the day you can pay the difference.

All of our tandem masters are licensed, experienced jumpers and have thousands of jumps under their belt.

Our equipment is checked regularly and are all insured.

Our aircrafts are also insured and maintained under the regulations set by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA).

We are certified and audited under the Swiss Skydive Quality Management System and we have an alliance with United States Parachute Association (USPA).

No, we do not provide medical or accident insurance, but we recommend you to acquire it. Before skydiving, everyone is required to sign a Waiver (release of liability form) in order to participate in the activity.

You are not required to have a medical or accident insurance, but if you wish to have one, you need to organise it yourself.  If you are traveling from abroad, skydiving could be covered by your travel insurance. Please get in touch with your insurer to clarify and/or arrange this.

All guests are covered by our third party liability insurance during their skydive.

According to the Swiss Skydive Association, a COVID certificate is not required for skydiving.

We are adhering to the guidelines outlined in our protection concept approved by BASPO (Bundesamt für Sport). We will be doing the following:

• Regularly disinfecting all surfaces,
• Providing handwashing and disinfecting facilities,
• Our tandem instructors are wearing full-face helmets,

Please follow all instructions given by our staff and communicated by signs placed around the dropzone to ensure the safety of you, our staff, and other participants.

If you have signs of illness (fever, cough etc.), please do not visit our dropzone. All guests (family or friends) coming to watch are also required to follow these rules.

To ensure the safety of our staff and other participants, we ask you not to visit our dropzone if you have any signs of illness (fever, cough etc.). All guests (family or friends) coming to watch are also required to follow these rules.

Rain, snow, clouds, fog and wind can affect your chances of jumping.

If we need to cancel due to the weather you can reschedule for another time and date or you will get a full refund.  

The weather can change so quickly here in the mountains and we cannot confidently rely on the weather forecast.

We will only decide shortly before the time of pick up if we need to cancel or not.

If we decide to cancel we will first contact you by email, approx. 30 minutes prior to the trip time.

If we cannot contact you by email we will try to contact you by telephone or through your place of accommodation.

From Interlaken – Drop Zone – Interlaken you can expect it to take approx. 3.5 hours

• Flight to altitude – approx. 15 minutes in the airplane or approx. 5-10 minutes in the helicopter
• Freefall – approx. 45 seconds
• Flight under canopy – approx. 5 minutes

Yes. We will pick you up from your accommodation in Interlaken/Wilderswil* or from the train station in Interlaken West or Ost / Wilderswil* / Reichenbach.

*Pick up at Wilderswil for airplane skydiving is only possible for the first trip of the day.

You are more than welcome to take your GoPro or camera to the drop zone and take photos and videos while you are on the ground.

For safety reasons, you are not allowed to take cameras and phones into the plane. Even licensed skydivers need 200 jumps before they can take a camera skydiving.

You can expect to get your video/photos within 3 days of your jump. If you have still not received them after 3 days please contact us.

The standard handcam edited video of your skydive is approx. 5-6 minutes long. You can see an example video here.

If you want a shorter video to post it on social media, select the Social Media Add-On which is a 60 seconds long edit of your skydive. This video product is only available in combination with other video products. Here’s an example video of this edit.

We guarantee a minimum of 60 photos but you normally get up to 100 photos.

Handcam is when the tandem master wears a camera on their wrist to capture your skydive and the camera flyer is when a 2nd person follows you out of the plane to capture your skydive.

Handcam video/photos will also capture you under the canopy and the camera flyer will capture some of your flight under the canopy and landing from the ground.

You can have a look at a sample recording here.

We can only confirm at the time of pick up if we have the camera flyer option. Unfortunately, we cannot confirm in advance because it is dependent on bookings, weather, staff and aircraft.

We can add a note on your booking that you want the camera flyer and we will do our best to offer it to you.

Unfortunately, there is not enough space in the helicopter and we can only offer the handcam video/photo option.

Whether you choose handcam or camera flyer option, we provide good quality photos with all of our products, however, it can vary from product to product due to the differences in the process.

The best photo quality is available when you opt for handcam photos product (CHF 120) or any of the camera flyer packages that includes photos.

When you opt for the handcam combo (photos and video package), the camera will capture the video and photos will be later created as stills from the video footage.

Unfortunately not. The time and distance gap between each tandem’s exit, which is a safety requirement, prevents us from being able to film more than one person at a time.

If you want to capture everyone from your group, you all will have to order individual photo/video products.

However, we do try to film you and your group of friends together on the ground, in the plane and after the jump whenever possible.

Yes, please contact us for the rates if you have a group of 4 people or more.

No group discounts apply for the helicopter skydive or for scenic flights.

In the event of a complete cancellation, the following costs will be incurred by the purchaser:

1. 0% – Cancellation with more than 48 hours notice
2. 50% – Cancellation with 24 hours notice
3. 100% – Cancellation with less than 24 hours notice or in the event of not showing up

Our tandemmasters will do our best to reassure you and encourage you to jump however our tandemmasters will never force you.

If your final decision is not to jump full charges will apply for your skydive including any video / photo packages purchased.

You do not need to bring your passport but please bring your booking ticket or agent voucher and money (cash or credit card), in case you want to buy a drink/snack and/or photo and video package.
