The gondola doors hiss open and the Alps exhale. Far below, Stockensee holds a cool, blue eye to the sky while limestone ribs push upward, daring you to look down. Cables hum, cows clink their bells on green meadows, and your guide’s countdown slips into the quiet high-alpine air: three, two, one—go. For a heartbeat you float, weightless and wide-eyed, before gravity grabs your shoulders and the lake rises fast. The cord catches with a smooth, elastic pull and you rebound into a rush of mountain air, the surface of the water rippling like it’s laughing with you.

The Stockhorn bungy is an unusual marvel—one of the few jumps in the world that launches from an aerial cable car. The journey begins at OUTDOOR’s Interlaken base, where you’ll check in before shuttling through the Simmental to Erlenbach. From there, the Stockhornbahn whisks you up to the Chrindi middle station, a gateway to glacially carved bowls, twin alpine lakes, and miles of pasture crisscrossed by farm tracks. The geology is classic Bernese Oberland: hard limestone shaped by ice, steep grass slopes, and lakes tucked into cirques that hold their color like secret treasure.
At Chrindi, professional guides clip you into purpose-built gear and walk you through every step. The jump height is about 134 meters—enough freefall to feel the world tilt, not so much that it becomes abstract. The cord and rigging are managed with Swiss precision; you rebound over the water, then get winched back to the gondola. Photos and video are available, and a celebratory drink waits when you’re back on solid ground.
This is an adventure tuned to the strengths of the region: quick access, grand scenery, and calm, competent guiding. Expect about 4–5 hours door to door, with alpine weather that can flip from sun to chill in minutes. Closed-toe shoes are required, and a warm layer is wise even in July. The operation typically runs from late spring into autumn when the lakes glow and the days run long. Fear of heights is normal; the routine is methodical and supportive, giving your brain time to catch up to your courage.
Make a day of it. After jumping, wander the short lakeside paths near Chrindi, ride to the Stockhorn summit for panorama decks that face the Jungfrau massif, or return to Interlaken for riverside cafés and the slow parade of paragliders tracing color across the sky. Here, mountains don’t just set the scene—they nudge you forward, then catch you on the rebound.

Yes, the experience includes transport from OUTDOOR’s Interlaken base to Erlenbach and back after the jump.
The Stockhorn cableway opened in 1969, linking Erlenbach to high-alpine pastures and two glacially carved lakes that anchor local hiking routes.
