More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the bus into a thin alpine air and the two lakes—Thun and Brienz—glint like windows cut into the valley. Above, the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau loom; below, paragliders hang like punctuation marks against the sky. The day begins with a scenic drive from Zurich, then a short flight that climbs to about 4,000 m for a tandem skydive: a 45-second freefall at roughly 200 kph, followed by five calm minutes under canopy over the Bernese Oberland.
