The Process of Your Skydive in Interlaken

From greeting to landing. Here is how your jump unfolds step by step.

Here is how your skydive with us works: clear, structured, and with everything you need.

From the greeting to the landing, we guide you step by step. You will experience an adventure that gets your heart racing, and you will always know what to expect.

Preparation

Your experience begins even before the actual jump. Wear comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and closed shoes; everything else like jumpsuit and goggles will be provided on-site. Remember to bring your (digital) ticket or voucher, as well as cash or card for extras like photos or videos. You will be perfectly prepared when we greet you at the meeting point.

Meeting Point

Your adventure starts in Interlaken at our OUTDOOR Base or at an agreed meeting point, where our driver will pick you up. You will already feel the excitement in the air.

Transfer & Briefing

Together with the group, you will take a shuttle to the departure point. The drive takes about 20 to 25 minutes. It is time to enjoy the scenery and mentally prepare for the jump. On-site, you will be equipped with a jump suit there and there will be a safety briefing. You will meet your instructor and put on your safety harness.

The Flight

Now it is time to fly. Whether by plane or helicopter, the climb is an experience in itself. Below you, lakes, valleys, and peaks spread out as the anticipation builds. Minutes later, the door opens, the wind hits your face, and the decisive moment arrives.

The Jump

Together with your tandem master, you edge towards the door, take a deep breath, and jump. About 45 seconds of free fall at up to 180 km/h (120 mp/h). Your heart races, the wind roars, adrenaline surges through you. It's intense, loud, and absolutely unforgettable. Words cannot describe this feeling.

Canopy Flight & Landing

As the freefall ends, you feel the parachute open. Silence takes over. You glide through the mountains, make a few turns with your instructor and take in the view of valleys and peaks. After about five minutes under the canopy, you prepare for a safe gentle landing with a big smile on your face.

After the Jump

Back on the ground, there is time to take a deep breath and let the experience sink in. You return the equipment, meet up with your group, and share your first impressions. Our shuttle takes you back to Interlaken, with memories that will last.
