Launch yourself off the 90-meter-high platform and experience weightlessness for only a split second before dropping into an epic freefall over the rushing white water of the Lütschine river. You’ll swing between the narrow gorge walls at 120km/h before slowing down, looking up, and thinking “I want to do that again.” This high-thrill Canyon Swing in Grindelwald is one of the boldest, most heart-pumping adventure activities in the Swiss Alps. Are you ready to jump?
Sadly the lower glacier no longer exists, but the canyon itself is now thriving as a popular destination for a unique sensory walk through its exposed rock galleries and tunnels. The rushing water cascades freely from the mountains into the Lütschine River below, sometimes causing a sudden rush of wind through the canyon and a rapid temperature flux as rays of light reflect along the steep walls.

It was an incredible experience, one that I would do again. The staff were fantastic and the tour of the Canyon afterwards was just as amazing. My heart was in my mouth at the ledge but once your off, you get over the fear pretty quickly and would highly recommend to everyone to go for it.
Awesome experience from start to finish! Welcoming staff, clear instructions and proper safety regulations made sure i never had any doubt in the people or the equipment and allowed me to have an experience ill never forget!

After the canyon swing, I was incredibly happy and felt free. I overcame a personal limit and was proud of myself. Before the jump, the cliffs scared me, but afterwards that feeling had almost disappeared. I was also glad that I already knew the guide from bungee jumping—that gave me additional security. 😀
Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung! 😊 Es freut uns sehr, dass der Canyon Swing für dich ein besonderes Erlebnis war und du deine persönliche Grenze überwinden konntest. Auf viele weitere Abenteuer mit OUTDOOR! 🌄
We went canyoning and canyon swinging on consecutive days. Both experiences were exactly as advertised. The guides were pleasant and the whole operation was well run. Of course it was Switzerland, so it was pricey!
Thank you for your great review! 🙌 We're so happy you enjoyed both the canyoning and the Canyon Swing, and that everything lived up to your expectations. We appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

If you’re looking for an adrenaline rush this is it! A leap of faith once you step off the platform. Trust in the ropes ;-) You’re guide is a pro who triple checks your equipment at the base and at the platform. If you’re afraid of heights, a means to conquer your fears.
