Skydiving in Interlaken – Parachuting in front of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau
"Skydiving makes you happy" according to Beat Schweizer. And he should know for, after all, this 55-year-old trained Tandem Master has already leapt out of a plane at a lofty height for more than 8,000 times. Imbued with his desire to share with others just how wonderful it feels to freefall for 45 seconds from 4,000 metres above sea level, he founded his company, Skydive Interlaken GmbH, in 1999. Each year since then, he and his team have accompanied hundreds of people up into the heavens and then in tandem again back to solid ground. "We don't have any typical guests" he said. His clients include his own countrymen who are seeking that special "thrill" as well as foreign tourists who simply want to experience an adrenaline rush as they view the countryside from the air. "We recently had an entire Indian family here, including the 80-year-old grandmother". The Eiger jump is especially recommended. Here you jump out of a helicopter right in front of the Eiger North Face and – because you have a parachute on – you gently touch down in Grindelwald.
