Skydive Interlaken
SchoolThe only dropzone operating out of Interlaken itself, Skydive Interlaken specialises in helicopter skydiving — the aircraft threads through alpine valleys to altitude, opening up jump lines impossible from a fixed-wing plane. The helicopter approach also means no spiral ascent, just a direct climb to exit point above the Bernese Oberland. They offer tandem jumps and introductory experiences tailored to first-time jumpers, with the Jungfrau massif as a constant backdrop.
Skydive Switzerland
SchoolBased at Reichenbach airfield near Interlaken, Skydive Switzerland has operated continuously for over twenty years and is one of Switzerland's most established full-service dropzones. They run a complete AFF programme for first-time skydivers, offer rental gear for licensed jumpers, and welcome sport parachutists at any experience level. The location delivers the same alpine mountain backdrop as anywhere in the Bernese Oberland — with more aircraft and more lifts per day than most Swiss operations.
