The Canyon Swing in Grindelwald’s Glacier Gorge is a very extreme adrenaline experience. Offering a 90-meter freefall between the sheer rock walls of the gorge, this heart-pounding adventure is not for the faint of heart—but it’s an unforgettable thrill for those who dare to take the leap.

The experience starts at a platform suspended high above the gorge, where you're securely harnessed and given a short safety briefing. Then, with nothing but a deep glacial canyon below, you step off the edge into a freefall reaching speeds of up to 120 km/h before the ropes catch you and send you swinging between the towering rock faces. The rush of adrenaline, the sound of the roaring glacial river beneath, and the unique setting make this one of the most thrilling swings in the world.

Unlike a bungee jump, the Canyon Swing doesn’t bounce—it’s a pure freefall followed by a massive pendulum swing, giving you a sensation of total weightlessness before the ropes smoothly guide your swing through the canyon. The dramatic location, with steep rock walls rising above and the turquoise glacial waters below, makes the experience both breathtaking and exhilarating.

Seraina’s Tip: The first step off the platform is the hardest, but once you jump, the adrenaline rush is incredible. If you're doing the Canyon Swing, take some time afterward to explore the Glacier Gorge itself, including the Spiderweb platform for another fun way to experience the dramatic landscape.
