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.

Adventure Tips
Dress for alpine swings
Weather at Chrindi can shift quickly—pack a warm layer and windproof shell even on sunny days.
Closed-toe shoes only
Sneakers or light hikers give secure footing in the gondola and during setup; sandals aren’t allowed.
Mind the weight and age limits
Jumpers must be 14+ and 45–115 kg (100–253 lbs). You’ll be weighed before gearing up.
Plan for motion after the jump
Eat a light meal and hydrate beforehand; the rebound and winch-up can feel intense if you’re dehydrated.

Conservation
