Frequently asked questions
How intense is a 65-metre bungee jump?
A 65-metre drop puts you in free fall for several seconds before the cord engages. The rebound phase adds repeated vertical oscillations, keeping the adrenaline going well past the initial plunge. Most jumpers describe the first second as the hardest and the most memorable.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to feel the rush?
No. The intensity comes from the drop itself, not from standing on the edge. Even jumpers with no fear of heights report a strong physical reaction the moment they leave the viaduct platform.
What is the most intense moment of the jump?
The release point. You go from standing still on the Pélussin viaduct to full free fall in under a second. That transition, before the cord even stretches, is the peak of the experience according to most participants.
Is 80 € a fair price for a 65-metre jump?
For a dedicated bungee site at 65 metres, 80 € sits in the standard range for France. The 5/5 rating from 28 reviews suggests consistent quality from the operator.
