You finally want to relive the GoldenEye jump of James Bond 007? Maybe you'd like to start your first bungee jump with a shorter jump. In Switzerland, besides the famous dam in Ticino's Verzasca Valley, you can find many more great jumping spots.
We have compiled the most famous and spectacular jumps for you.
When bungee jumping you jump into nothingness. Your brain knows that nothing can happen to you and that the jump is safe. But it still signals an imminent danger to your body and makes sure that a lot of adrenaline is released. This makes the feeling after the jump quite unique
The rubber rope consists of about 1500 individual latex threads. It connects the jumper with the take-off point and brakes the fall. The elasticity causes it to spring back several times until it swings out.
Bungee jumping is organized by certified providers. In Switzerland, the "Safety in Adventures" foundation defines the safety requirements for outdoor activities. It also regularly monitors compliance with them. The blue "S" is the label that only providers who regularly meet all certification criteria are allowed to carry.

Bungee jumping in the Verzasca Valley of Ticino is truly a unique experience. Since the James Bond film "GoldenEye," the Gordola dam has become famous worldwide, attracting more and more adventurers. Standing at 220 m high, it’s perfect for an exhilarating jump. A platform ensures you maintain a safe distance from the wall. The Lago di Vogorno reservoir is not far from Locarno.
The Verzasca Valley is known for its numerous waterfalls and crystal-clear waters. The stone bridge in Lavertezzo is a popular destination. The Ponte dei Salti (Bridge of Jumps) invites visitors to leap 14 m directly into the Verzasca River.
The spectacular depth of the jump is perfect for trying out different types of jumps. The classic bungee jump is the jump like in the movie GoldenEye: headfirst
But there are more possibilities.
Jump type | Special | Suitability for |
---|---|---|
Classic jump | head first | beginner, first jump |
jump backward | jump backward | not suitable for first jump |
Jump Ultimo | feet first | experienced jumpers |
The Classic Jump is also offered at night
In the Simmental of the beautiful Bernese Oberland, you take the Stockhornbahn from Erlenbach to Hinterstockensee. Along the way, you jump directly from the gondola at a height of 134 m, enjoying the picturesque landscape of Hinterstockensee from a bird's-eye view.
Offer from Swiss Activities:
The Centovalli Railway is a narrow-gauge train that runs through the valleys of Ticino with breathtaking routes. In Intragna, you'll find a bridge bungee center where you can jump 70 meters down from one of the bridges.
The mountain rivers in the area are perfect for canyoning. The railway bridge is also directly connected to the largest high ropes course in Europe.
You can enjoy both classic jumps and tandem jumps here.

In the heart of the Gletscherschlucht Grindelwald, you can experience the Canyon Swing. You jump from a height of about 90 m, plunging roughly 50 m into the canyon below. You can reach speeds of up to 120 km/h during the fall.
Unlike bungee jumping, you don't fall headfirst here; instead, you're attached at the hips, swinging through the gorge. Your free fall smoothly transitions into a swing.
Offer at Swiss Activities:
The suspension bridge Niouc is Europe's highest suspension bridge. In the Sport and Adventure Park Niouc you jump from 190 m height into the deep valley. Already the 100 m long footpath over the suspension bridge generates a lot of adrenaline. At the jumping point you can't see the ground below you.
To get into the right mood, you can use the Giant Swing Pendulum with a speed of 200 km/h or the roller coaster in the Adventure Park
Bungee jumping in Switzerland will take you to the most beautiful and unusual places in Switzerland. You will never forget this adrenaline-filled experience for the rest of your life. And maybe it will make you dare to do more bungee jumps
