Frequently asked questions
How high is the jump at the Viaduct of Banne?
You jump from 40 m above ground. That's enough freefall to feel genuine weightlessness before the cord snaps you back up.
Is this jump suitable for first-timers?
Yes. The physical level is listed as “Everybody welcome”, and the 1h session includes a full safety briefing before you step off the edge.
What languages do the guides speak?
French, English and Spanish. You'll get clear instructions in your language before the jump.
What is the most intense moment of the experience?
The first two seconds after you leave the viaduct edge. You're in freefall for roughly 40 m with nothing below you but the Ardèche landscape before the bungee cord kicks in.
