About Skydive Interlaken
Skydive Interlaken offers one of the most spectacular tandem skydiving experiences in Europe, launching passengers from a helicopter rather than a fixed-wing aircraft. Based in Wilderswil just outside Interlaken, the operation flies jumpers up to 13,000 feet above the Bernese Oberland before they freefall at speeds exceeding 200 kilometres per hour, with the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau providing an unforgettable Alpine backdrop throughout the descent.
The helicopter-based format is what sets Skydive Interlaken apart from virtually every other skydiving operator in Switzerland. While most operations use small planes, the helicopter allows for more flexible routing — meaning jumps can be positioned directly over the Lauterbrunnen Valley, Interlaken's twin lakes, or the high glaciers depending on weather conditions. Each tandem jump pairs a first-timer with a certified instructor for the 45-second freefall, followed by a five-minute canopy ride with panoramic views before landing in the fields near the base. Professional video and photo packages capture the entire experience.
Hotel pick-up is available from most Interlaken accommodations, and the entire experience from briefing to landing takes about two hours. No previous skydiving experience is required — just a willingness to step out of a helicopter at altitude. For thrill-seekers visiting Interlaken's adventure capital, Skydive Interlaken represents the ultimate adrenaline rush, combining the raw intensity of freefall with scenery that most skydivers around the world can only dream of.
