The body size will influence the freefall speed, the smaller the slower, the bigger the faster, in general it is around 45sec.
The gentle parachute ride takes about 5 to 8 minutes before we land as briefed.
Once you get under canopy it becomes very quiet and you can talk normally to your instructor as you glide back to the landing area.
Generally speaking, you can talk, but since freefall speeds reach up to 120mph, the wind passing by makes it difficult to hear.
All our tandem masters are licensed, highly professional and have years of experience.
No. Therefore, you will be asked to fill out a release of liability before you jump. This is standard procedure at any skydiving center.
Yes, we accept most major credit cards and debit cards but you can pay also in cash
On every helicopter Tandem Load we have always one seat free for a Funjumper, the Price is CHF 95.00. Minimum requirements are 500 jumps and B-Licence and valid insurance for Switzerland. We don’t rent any gear. You can rent a helicopter yourself for CHF 575.00 per Load (5 Funjumpers).
At Skydive Interlaken we take pride in having a warm, welcoming atmosphere while giving you that life-changing experience you’re searching for! Helicopter skydiving is rare, most skydiving centres use an aeroplane to jump out of. The helicopter is the only aircraft that can navigate through valleys, over glaciers, and up to the summits of high mountains. This means you’ll be getting and experience like no other - getting up close and personal with the Swiss Alps before jumping over the most picturesque landscape.
