We take safety seriously, and ensuring that all participants meet the minimum age requirement or have appropriate parental consent is an important aspect of our safety protocols.

This policy helps us ensure a secure and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. If you’re planning to bring anyone under 18, please have their parent or legal guardian provide the necessary consent before the scheduled jump.

We provide a short basic training session that is conducted before the jump. This training is essential for all participants and will be carried out with the assistance of your designated instructor.

Tandem skydiving does require a basic level of physical fitness, and participants should be in good overall health. It is essential for individuals to be free from medical conditions that could potentially be aggravated by the experience of skydiving, including but not limited to recent shoulder injuries or dislocation, pregnancy, sinus or ear infections or inflammation. The physical demands of the activity, including the force of freefall and landing, may put some stress on the body.

Before engaging in tandem skydiving, it is crucial for participants to honestly assess their health and any pre-existing medical conditions they may have. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional if there are any concerns about the suitability of skydiving based on individual health conditions. The safety and well-being of participants are of the utmost importance, and being in good physical health contributes significantly to a safe and enjoyable skydiving experience. Skydive Interlaken maintains the authority to decline a client’s jump request in the presence of any concerns.

The entire process of tandem skydiving typically takes between 2 to 3 hours. This time frame includes various stages from your arrival at the dropzone until you safely land. Here’s a breakdown of the approximate timeline:

• Arrival and Registration: Upon arrival, you will need to complete the necessary paperwork and registration process, including signing waivers and providing any required documentation.
• Pre-Jump Instruction: You will receive a comprehensive safety briefing and training session conducted by your tandem skydiving instructor.
• Gear and Equipment: You will be provided with the necessary skydiving gear, including a jumpsuit and harness.
  Boarding the helicopter: Once the pre-jump training is complete, you will be driven to the heliport where you will then board the helicopter.
• Helicopter Ascent: The aircraft will ascend to the jump altitude, giving you a chance to enjoy scenic views and build anticipation for the jump.
• The Jump: When you reach the appropriate altitude, you and your instructor will exit the aircraft for the exhilarating tandem skydive. The freefall portion lasts for about 45 seconds.
• Parachute Descent: After the freefall, the parachute will be deployed, and you will enjoy a gentle and controlled descent under the canopy. This phase lasts around 4 to 7 minutes, offering you breathtaking views.
• Landing: You will touch down safely in Grindelwald, guided by your instructor, completing your tandem skydiving experience.
• Return transport: The return transport is free of charge. Please note that we try to bring the whole group back together. We thank you for your patience.

Please note that the actual duration may vary depending on factors such as weather conditions, the number of participants, and the specific skydiving facility’s procedures. It’s always a good idea to plan for some extra time to accommodate any unexpected delays or adjustments to the schedule.

Maintaining a clear mind and body is crucial for the safe and enjoyable experience of skydiving. It is vital not to drink alcohol or consume drugs before the jump, as these substances can impair judgment and coordination, which are essential for a successful skydive.

We refuse customers we believe have consumed drugs or alcohol.

Tandem skydiving is widely regarded as an exceptionally safe activity, especially when conducted by certified and experienced instructors. The utmost attention is given to maintaining the highest safety standards through rigorous equipment maintenance and regular inspections. With certified instructors at the helm, prioritizing your safety is their topmost concern, as they provide expert guidance throughout the entire skydiving experience.

While all adventurous sports inherently carry some level of risk, tandem skydiving is designed to minimize and manage these risks effectively. By strictly adhering to safety protocols and taking necessary precautions, participants can fully enjoy the thrill of skydiving with confidence, knowing that their well-being is well taken care of.
