Activity description
Spice up your stay in the Gruyère Region and go for this thrilling tandem skydive jump!
You meet your experienced instructor at the drop zone in Gruyères where you will first get an exhaustive safety briefing. Then it's time to board the plane and head to the Swiss sky! This turns out to be a scenic flight as you'll enjoy great views over the Natural Park of Gruyère Pays-d'Enhaut, the Fribourg Alps with the Vaud and Valais Alps just behind. You'll also see the Lake of Gruyères becoming smaller and smaller as you gain altitude.
For a tandem jump, you'll be securely strapped in a harness to an instructor equipped with a two-person parachute. After leaving the plane at an altitude of 4'000 meters, you will freefall for 2'500 meters in a little less than one minute.
At about 1'500 meters from the ground, your instructor will open the parachute and will encourage you to help maneuvre the canopy thanks to the double steering commands. After flying for about 5 minutes, during which you will again be able to take in the wonderful mountain panorama, he will assist you in a soft landing back on earth. An experience you'll never forget!
