Welcome to the dropzone with the most scenic views in the Swiss Alps!
Welcome to Skydive Switzerland! We’ve been jumping for over 20 years and we have grown steadily with the goal of offering the best aircraft, facilities and customer service.
Whether you’re working on your license or have thousands of skydives, we would love to host you at our dropzone in Reichenbach, Switzerland.
WHAT'S NEEDED TO CHECK IN?
Safety is our main priority at Skydive Switzerland, to avoid disappointment on your arrival please read the information below.
Logbook
Correctly completed and up-to-date logbook (or photocopy of last 3 pages, all pages if 25 jumps or less).
License
Current, international licenses accepted – USPA, BPA, APA etc.
Insurance
Valid 3rd party liability insurance Min. 1 million (chf) coverage
Reserve in date
Reserve parachute must be in date, according to your country’s repacking cycle.
WHAT TO DO WHEN YOU ARRIVE
Registration -> Briefing -> Manifest
On arrival, you’ll receive documentation and equipment checks – this is our internal inspection to increase the safety for yourself and all others on the dropzone. All skydivers will undergo a dropzone briefing, landing area introduction and equipment check by one of our authorized staff.
Please note that while Skydive Switzerland will try and facilitate as much as we can, it is your responsibility to prove that your own documentation is valid, in date and in a language (English/German) that can be read by our staff.
Insurance is only required if you are jumping your own gear. The insurance is not medical insurance, it is in case of damage to a third party’s property (house, car, etc). We are unable to sell the insurance directly, and you’ll need to organise this before you jump. You can purchase the insurance from Swiss Skydive through the below link.
JUMP TICKETS

SKYDIVE LICENCE
LEARN TO SKYDIVE AT THE MOST SCENIC DROPZONE!
If you wish to learn how to skydive and experience the world’s best views, you have come to the right place. At Skydive Switzerland, we offer the AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) course which is an internationally recognised system of skydiving training that offers the fastest way to experience solo freefall.
The course takes approximately one week (weather permitting) and you will be required to complete 8 progressive levels. Upon completion, you can jump independently, but still under student status as AFF is just the first step towards your license.
Many students continue their training at Skydive Switzerland to become licensed skydivers. At our dropzone, we have highly experienced instructors who are qualified to supervise the acquisition of both the USPA (United States Parachute Association) license and the Swiss Skydive license (Schweizer Fallschirmspringer Lizenz).
THE AFF COURSE
The AFF training is divided into 8 levels with intensive training in both theory and practice to prepare you for all possible situations a skydiver could face.
During ground school, we will cover the required emergency procedures and the fundamentals of piloting your canopy for a safe and accurate landing at the dropzone. You will also learn about the skydiving equipment and how to use it, including your main and reserve canopies, altimeter etc.
You’ll be taught the usual ways to exit an aircraft and proper body positioning to maintain stability during freefall. The goal of the training is to prepare you to fly your body with confidence and in a controlled manner.
COURSE RESTRICTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: Giving false personal information when applying for the AFF course may result in you forfeiting the costs of the course.
See below the requirements you need to meet to be eligible for an AFF course at Skydive Switzerland. If you have any questions regarding these or your previous injuries, don’t hesitate to contact us before making a booking.
Min. Age: 16 (parental consent required under the age of 18)
Healthy: Good health and fitness level
Max. Weight: 85 kg / 187 lbs
Medical: Over the age of 40, we require a certificate from your GP
LIFE AFTER AFF
Once you have successfully completed your AFF training, you can work towards becoming a licensed skydiver. At Skydive Switzerland, we offer training for both the USPA (United States Parachute Association) license and the Swiss Skydive license (Schweizer Fallschirmspringer Lizenz).
Both licenses are internationally recognized and will allow you to jump worldwide, but there are differences in acquiring them. If needed, we can consult you on deciding which one to go for. We have experienced instructors who will accompany you on this journey, coach you and prepare you for the chosen license.
A LICENSE
USPA issues four skydiving licenses – levels A through D – with each progressing in the required levels of skill, experience and accomplishment. Each level will also give you more privileges as a skydiver.
Your first step after the AFF course will be the USPA A license. Students must demonstrate certain skills in freefall and under the canopy to obtain this license. The minimum number of jumps to obtain the A license is 25 (including the jumps you’ve done during the AFF course).
Click here if you want to find out more about each level and the requirements/privileges.
SWISS SKYDIVE LICENSE
After the basic training (AFF course), you will need to successfully complete and pass four practical tests (security test, tracking test, controlled movement test and packing and material knowledge test) before you can register for the final skills exam.
The exam consists of a theoretical test and test jumps where you will have to demonstrate everything you have learned. After passing this exam, you can apply for your skydiving license from Swiss Skydive. The minimum amount of jumps for the Swiss Skydive license is 50.

PLANE SKYDIVING
The ultimate bucket list adventure, airplane skydiving, is the best way to get up close to the Swiss Alps. An experience you will never forget! With Skydive Switzerland, you can enjoy three activities within one.
Your adventure will start with an approximately 15-minute scenic flight as the jump plane climbs to altitude. Enjoy the views of Interlaken’s two lakes and the incredible Swiss Alps, including the famous peaks of Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau.
The flight is followed by a 45-second adrenaline-pumping freefall from the altitude of 4,000 m (13,000 ft). Feel the ground rushing towards you at 200 km/h (120 mph)!
Once the parachute is deployed, take a deep breath and enjoy the 5-7 minute canopy ride which will safely take you back to the ground.
Come summer or winter, we operate daily all year round (except for some national holidays).
The trip, from pick-up till drop-off in Interlaken, can take up to 3.5 hours.

On arrival, you’ll receive documentation and equipment checks – this is our internal inspection to increase the safety for yourself and all others on the dropzone. All skydivers will undergo a dropzone briefing, landing area introduction and equipment check by one of our authorized staff.
Please note that while Skydive Switzerland will try and facilitate as much as we can, it is your responsibility to prove that your own documentation is valid, in date and in a language (English/German) that can be read by our staff.
Insurance is only required if you are jumping your own gear. The insurance is not medical insurance, it is in case of damage to a third party’s property (house, car, etc). We are unable to sell the insurance directly, and you’ll need to organise this before you jump. You can purchase the insurance from Swiss Skydive through the below link.
JUMP TICKETS
If you have less than 25 jumps you will need to do a check jump with one of our instructors at an additional cost of CHF 125.
You must be current according to your Parachute Association license requirements, if not we need to follow the requirements to get you current.

SKYDIVE LICENCE
LEARN TO SKYDIVE AT THE MOST SCENIC DROPZONE!
If you wish to learn how to skydive and experience the world’s best views, you have come to the right place. At Skydive Switzerland, we offer the AFF (Accelerated Free Fall) course which is an internationally recognised system of skydiving training that offers the fastest way to experience solo freefall.
The course takes approximately one week (weather permitting) and you will be required to complete 8 progressive levels. Upon completion, you can jump independently, but still under student status as AFF is just the first step towards your license.
Many students continue their training at Skydive Switzerland to become licensed skydivers. At our dropzone, we have highly experienced instructors who are qualified to supervise the acquisition of both the USPA (United States Parachute Association) license and the Swiss Skydive license (Schweizer Fallschirmspringer Lizenz).
THE AFF COURSE
The AFF training is divided into 8 levels with intensive training in both theory and practice to prepare you for all possible situations a skydiver could face.
During ground school, we will cover the required emergency procedures and the fundamentals of piloting your canopy for a safe and accurate landing at the dropzone. You will also learn about the skydiving equipment and how to use it, including your main and reserve canopies, altimeter etc.
You’ll be taught the usual ways to exit an aircraft and proper body positioning to maintain stability during freefall. The goal of the training is to prepare you to fly your body with confidence and in a controlled manner.
COURSE RESTRICTIONS
PLEASE NOTE: Giving false personal information when applying for the AFF course may result in you forfeiting the costs of the course.
See below the requirements you need to meet to be eligible for an AFF course at Skydive Switzerland. If you have any questions regarding these or your previous injuries, don’t hesitate to contact us before making a booking.
Min. Age: 16 (parental consent required under the age of 18)
Healthy: Good health and fitness level
Max. Weight: 85 kg / 187 lbs
Medical: Over the age of 40, we require a certificate from your GP
LIFE AFTER AFF
Once you have successfully completed your AFF training, you can work towards becoming a licensed skydiver. At Skydive Switzerland, we offer training for both the USPA (United States Parachute Association) license and the Swiss Skydive license (Schweizer Fallschirmspringer Lizenz).
Both licenses are internationally recognized and will allow you to jump worldwide, but there are differences in acquiring them. If needed, we can consult you on deciding which one to go for. We have experienced instructors who will accompany you on this journey, coach you and prepare you for the chosen license.
A LICENSE
USPA issues four skydiving licenses – levels A through D – with each progressing in the required levels of skill, experience and accomplishment. Each level will also give you more privileges as a skydiver.
Your first step after the AFF course will be the USPA A license. Students must demonstrate certain skills in freefall and under the canopy to obtain this license. The minimum number of jumps to obtain the A license is 25 (including the jumps you’ve done during the AFF course).
Click here if you want to find out more about each level and the requirements/privileges.
SWISS SKYDIVE LICENSE
After the basic training (AFF course), you will need to successfully complete and pass four practical tests (security test, tracking test, controlled movement test and packing and material knowledge test) before you can register for the final skills exam.
The exam consists of a theoretical test and test jumps where you will have to demonstrate everything you have learned. After passing this exam, you can apply for your skydiving license from Swiss Skydive. The minimum amount of jumps for the Swiss Skydive license is 50.

PLANE SKYDIVING
The ultimate bucket list adventure, airplane skydiving, is the best way to get up close to the Swiss Alps. An experience you will never forget! With Skydive Switzerland, you can enjoy three activities within one.
