Bungee Jumping · Luz Saint Sauveur
How to choose
Both operators launch you from the same spot: Pont Napoléon in Luz-Saint-Sauveur, a 65 m freefall above the Gave de Pau gorge. The price is identical at 80 € per jump, and both sessions run a half day with trilingual staff (French, Spanish, English). The difference is operator experience and scheduling flexibility. Elastic Crocodil Bungee - Pyrénées lists a shorter 1-hour option alongside the half-day format, which works if your afternoon is tight. Luz Aventure commits to the full half-day block, giving more time on-site and less rush between harness check and jump. Both hold a 5.0/5 aggregate across 44 reviews, so neither is a gamble. Pick Elastic Crocodil for schedule flexibility, Luz Aventure if you want the unhurried experience.

Frequently asked questions
How intense is the freefall from Pont Napoléon?
You drop 65 m before the cord catches you, which puts several seconds of pure freefall between you and the river canyon below. That's enough altitude to fully register the void before the rebound kicks in.
Do I need prior experience to jump?
No. Both operators list physical level as “Everybody welcome”, so zero prior experience is required. The briefing and harness fitting are handled on-site before the jump.
What is the most intense moment of the jump?
The release point at the bridge edge. You're standing over a 65 m drop with nothing but the cord attached, and the step off is entirely voluntary. The rebound oscillations afterward are significant but feel secondary to that first second of freefall.
Is the 65 m drop over water?
Yes. Pont Napoléon spans the Gave de Luz river gorge, so the visual reference below you is the canyon and the river. You don't hit the water, but it's visible throughout the jump.
What's the best time of year to book in Luz-Saint-Sauveur?
The Pyrenees summer season runs roughly June through September, with the clearest conditions and most availability. Both operators are active during this window, but availability fills fast in July and August, so book ahead.

Equipment
Wear fitted, non-loose clothing and lace-up shoes that won't fly off on rebound. Both sessions are open to all physical levels, but leave jewelry, glasses and loose items in the car since they will not survive a 65 m drop.
