Drop 90 meters into a glacially carved gorge and swing at highway speeds above the Lütschine. OUTDOOR Interlaken’s professionally guided canyon swing blends Swiss precision with pure alpine adrenaline—no experience required, just nerve.
The canyon waits in a hush that is never truly quiet. Below, the Lütschine charges through its narrow corridor, throwing white spray against rock polished by ice and centuries of flood. You step onto a platform bolted to the gorge wall, 90 meters of air between your toes and the river’s muscle. The guide clips you in, checks again, and nods. The river dares you. Gravity leans in.

The canyon waits in a hush that is never truly quiet. Below, the Lütschine charges through its narrow corridor, throwing white spray against rock polished by ice and centuries of flood. You step onto a platform bolted to the gorge wall, 90 meters of air between your toes and the river’s muscle. The guide clips you in, checks again, and nods. The river dares you. Gravity leans in.
A heartbeat of weightlessness, then the floor disappears. The freefall is clean and absolute—no bounce, just a true drop that steals your breath before the rope takes load and you arc between vertical walls at up to 120 km/h. The gorge rushes past. The Lütschine pushes forward. When the swing eases and the adrenaline fades into laughter, you look up at the cut of sky and think, again.
Run by OUTDOOR Interlaken, this Grindelwald canyon swing pairs Swiss engineering with alpine drama. You’ll meet at the company HQ in Wilderswil—easy by train or bus from Interlaken—for a safety briefing and gear-up. From there, a short drive leads up the Grindelwald valley to the Gletscherschlucht (Glacier Gorge), a chasm carved by the once-mighty Lower Grindelwald Glacier. Its retreat in the last century left behind a labyrinth of limestone galleries and tunnels, now a protected walkway where you can feel cold drafts race through as sunlight ricochets along the walls.
Expect 2–3 hours round-trip with guides, transport, harnesses, and helmets included—and a celebratory drink after. Minimum age is 14, maximum weight 120 kg. The physical effort is modest (a few steps and ladder rungs), but the exposure is real; this is less about fitness than your relationship with heights. Weather calls are conservative—wind, heavy rain, or storm risk can pause operations—yet the canyon often offers shelter from broader valley conditions.
Between jumps or as a follow-up, walk the gorge’s galleries to watch the river squeeze and flare through the narrows. On clear days, the ride to Grindelwald frames the Eiger’s north face—a serrated wall that has shaped climbing lore for generations. Cafés and bakeries back in Interlaken and Grindelwald serve easy post-adventure fuel; the region hums with trailheads, via ferratas, and lake swims if you want to stack your day.
Bring closed shoes and a warm layer—the canyon breathes cold even in summer. Lockers are available at HQ, and guides will advise on cameras; loose items don’t get second chances down here. The jump feels like a challenge, but it’s measured, guided, and built for repeat smiles. The river roars approval as you swing through its stone corridor, and the Alps—ever patient—watch you take the leap.
Plan for about 2–3 hours including check-in at Wilderswil HQ, transport to Grindelwald, briefing, the jump(s), and return.
