I've done this in Utah in the States, so when I found out there was one here in Switzerland, I had to book it. The entire experience was amazing! The staff was great, patient and very courteous. They explained everything in detail. While the swing in Utah was awesome as well, I think this one was or it felt steeper and quite better. There were a few of us jumping as well and the time between jumpers went real quick. Video came out great too!
This was a birthday gift for my man that i ended up doing with him. First of all it was super easy to book, they even called us to make sure we understood that we had to drive all the way up ourselves. Super friendly staff. We got there in time, all safety instructions and jumped in to the car up to the hill, had to walk few meter but the guy from the staff was a very calm guy (very much needed in this case) We came to the platform and you now understand how freaking high up you really are. The worst you can do at this point it to look to much down. The last safety instruction for the jump was made, when you get on the platform, don't look down, don't wait to long, don't think to much, just jump, yes the fall is waaay longer then you expect and way slower then you think. Before you start to swing you will realize you just jumped and are falling. As quick as the fall is over its an absolute stunning view in the middle of the stones and water under you. Its a lot to take in but what a great experience. The staff know what they are doing and that makes you really calm and feel safe. A bit sad we could bring our own cameras (understandable after the jump) bit very grateful for the video you can buy there. Super cool idea to give away to any adrenalin junky person who need some action in life.
Great experience! Do not stand on platform long, or you won't jump, walk on and jump or have them push you, don't look down. We had 2 people in our group not jump, bc looked down too long.
We originally found out about the canyon swing from the TV show, The Amazing Race! After seeing it - we knew we had to go! Let me just tell you... it far surpassed our expectations. They provide roundtrip transportation from Interlaken but we decided to drive ourselves to be able to explore the surrounding area after. Upon arrival we met up with Mustard & Steph (our guides). They explained the process in detail and took our small group of 4 to get geared up and positioned on the platform. We always felt completely safe in their hands. The free fall was unreal. It gave you the sensation of bungee jumping followed by a swing about 4-5x through the glacial canyon. We opted for the video and happy that we did. It’s a bit less expensive if you purchase it with your tickets online - would highly recommend this. We’ve told everyone about our canyon swing experience and if we ever come back to the area - we will most definitely book additional tours through Outdoor Interlaken. I also had sent numerous emails prior to our arrival and the staff responded back within a day with recommendations in the area, hikes, etc. Very professional.
Great experience jumping down from about 90 meters high. I gave 4 stars for the delay. Allow yourself for a minimum of one hour from signing the papers to the jump. Also the price is not cheap with the video recording. The time from jumping to finish is approximately 3 minutes max. The video recording will be sent to your email within several days. I received mine after 2 days. Overall I think it’s worth trying.
Very well organized and friendly staff. I booked the combi with the transfer and the video option. Once standing on the ledge above the canyon you know this will be insane. Were were like a group of 7 people, many looked pretty nervous but the staff did a great job at calming us down. I was one of the first to jump. When you're ready to go, don't think and just jump. Waiting and looking down makes it harder. I gotta say I really underestimated how long the fall would be. Had that tingling free fall sensation for almost for full 4 seconds in my stomach. They said its an 80m free fall. Was really intense. You fly past the rock walls till you're 5 meters above the river and then swing back and forth until your speed is gone. A staff member then helps you reach the catwalk next to the river at the valley bottom. The video was cool and is professionally made. At the end we were also offered a drink. This was in summer 2021
