Frequently asked questions
What is the most intense moment of the jump?
The first 3 to 4 seconds of free fall from 182 m above the Verdon canyon floor. Your body accelerates before the cord engages, and the rebound snaps you back up over the gorge. That sequence is what most jumpers describe as the peak of the experience.
Do you need to be comfortable with heights to do this?
Standing on the edge of the Artuby bridge at 182 m will trigger a strong fear-of-void response in almost anyone. You don't need to be fearless, but you do need to be able to commit to the step. The guides from Latitude Challenge walk you through the process on-site.
Is the Artuby bridge the highest bungee site in Europe?
Yes. At 182 m, the Artuby bridge over the Verdon Gorge is the highest bungee jumping site in Europe. That figure is part of what makes this location a benchmark for the activity.
How long does the actual jump take versus the full day?
The activity is listed as a full day, which includes travel to the meeting point, briefing, safety equipment fitting and the jump itself. The free fall lasts only a few seconds, but the full programme justifies the day-long format.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes you can move in, and lace-up shoes that won't fly off mid-fall. The physical level is occasionally sporty, so no special gear is needed, but avoid loose items like hats, glasses without straps or open bags.
Getting there
Head to the Artuby bridge in Comps-sur-Artuby (83840): drive through the village, then follow the "rive gauche" signs at the far end to reach the meeting point directly on the bridge.
