Itinerary

Meeting points
Meeting Point
15 - 45 mins

Depending on your booking, you will either be picked up in Interlaken or meet the guides directly at the Glacier Canyon in Grindelwald. The exact time and meeting point are selected during booking and noted on your booking confirmation.

Welcome
15 mins

At the Glacier Canyon, you will be greeted by the guides. After checking in, you will place all personal belongings in a secure place and then receive your full-body harness. Then, you will get a briefing with all the important information about the jump and procedure.

Transfer
5 mins

A short transfer takes you to the top in just a few minutes. From there, a short walk through the woods leads you to the jumping platform.

3 – 2 – 1 – Jump!
30 mins

The platform is 90 meters above the river. After a final safety check, you will be secured to the rope and slowly approach the edge. The guide counts down: 3 – 2 – 1 – then you jump! The first 50 meters are in free fall before the rope catches you and you swing through the narrow canyon at speeds up to 120 km/h.

As the swinging slows down, you will pull yourself to the side of the canyon using a rope and climb up a ladder leading back onto solid ground. Our guide will be waiting there with a camera to capture your pure adrenaline-fuelled reaction.

After the Jump
30 mins

After the jump, you will find yourself in the Glacier Canyon and can explore it (entry is included in the ticket). When exiting the Glacier Canyon, you will pick up any personal belongings and a voucher for a free drink, redeemable at the Restaurant next door.


Transport
30 mins

Once all participants have jumped, we head back to Interlaken together by bus (if booked with transport). The ride back to our base in Interlaken takes about 30 minutes.

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
