Tandem skydiving in Switzerland

No previous experience is required for a tandem skydive. At Kappelen airfield in the canton of Bern, Swissboogie guides you from the briefing to the landing in French, German or English.

Your experience starts with an approximately 15-minute briefing from a qualified tandem instructor. After your equipment is prepared, the aircraft takes you above the Seeland and Three Lakes region. Securely attached to your instructor, you experience freefall at more than 200 km/h, followed by the calm of the parachute flight and a gentle landing in front of the hangar. You receive a certificate after your jump.

What makes Swissboogie stand out in Switzerland:

• more than 50 years of experience and over 500,000 skydivers taken into the air;
• three jump altitudes: 4,000, 6,000 and 7,600 metres;
• qualified instructors, modern equipment and multilingual briefings;
• views across the Seeland, Three Lakes region and Swiss Alps;
• PDF or premium gift vouchers, valid for one year and transferable.

Choose the option that matches a first-time experience, a longer freefall or an exceptional full-day HALO adventure. All three tandem skydives can be booked directly below.

From CHF 435. The 4,000-metre tandem skydive is the recommended option for discovering skydiving. The flight to altitude takes approximately 20 minutes and offers views of the Seeland, Bern, Chasseral and the Three Lakes region. After the freefall, the parachute opens at around 1,500 metres for a calmer descent to the landing area.

No previous experience is required. The main conditions are good health, a minimum age of 16 and a maximum weight of 100 kg. A video option is available, and a group rate is applied automatically when four or more jumps are purchased.

From CHF 650. The 6,000-metre tandem skydive is designed for those who want a longer freefall. The ascent takes approximately 40 minutes. A technician accompanies the flight, and the aircraft’s oxygen system is used during the climb. In clear conditions, the panorama can extend from the Swiss Alps towards the regions of Zurich and Geneva.

These flights require special authorisation from Skyguide and operate on scheduled dates. Allow at least half a day. Participants must be in good health, at least 18 years old and weigh no more than 100 kg.

From CHF 1,930. The 7,600-metre HALO experience is a full-day programme that includes two tandem skydives: a first jump from 4,000 metres to become familiar with skydiving, followed by the 7,600-metre jump. Oxygen training, personal oxygen equipment and an onboard technician are all part of this high-altitude experience.

The ascent takes approximately 60 minutes and, when conditions allow, offers views beyond Switzerland’s borders. Dates are planned in coordination with Skyguide. Participants must be in good health, at least 18 years old and weigh no more than 100 kg. Because of the altitude, cold and pressure, video can be recorded during the 4,000-metre jump but not during the 7,600-metre jump.
