Launch off a 90‑metre platform into the Grindelwald gorge, then spend free time exploring Interlaken’s lakeside views. This full‑day tour from Zurich pairs a high‑adrenaline canyon swing with scenic drives through the Bernese Oberland.

You step out of the minivan and the air is thin, cold and sharp against your face; the Lütschine below roars and the canyon narrows like a throat. The 90‑metre platform waits above a ribbon of white water while walls of dark rock close in. For a few seconds you are a clean, bright weight in the mountain air: freefall, then a hard arc as the swing drags you between the gorge and slows.
