Interlaken - Chill Out Summer - Adventure

Adventure


Bungee jumping

Dive into a canyon in free fall or dare a giant leap out of a gondola – bungee jumping is certainly not for weak knees or weak nerves! On the menu are two à la carte jumps: the glacier bungee jump at 85 m and the Stockhorn jump at 134 m. Served with a guarantee of breathtaking views and more than just a pinch of pure adrenalin!

Canyoning

Green pools, rainbow-coloured waterfalls, stony slides and a feast of fun! Canyoning is one of the most impressive of all adventure sports and extremely popular. The gorges around
Interlaken are ideal for beginners and also never fail to amaze confirmed canyoning addicts.

Paragliding/Hanggliding

Circle effortlessly in the mountain air, enjoy the whistle of the wind, feel the uplift of warm air currents, hear birds chirping – paragliding is ultimate freedom! And freedom available to all thanks to tandem flights. Get a whole new perspective on the stunning scenery while sweeping safely down to the valley with your licensed tandem pilot. But be warned - this sport is addictive!
