Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall. Your body goes from standing on a plane to accelerating hard in under a second. The Alpine scenery and Lake Lucerne below register only after your parachute opens and the rush settles.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights is actually less relevant at jump altitude than most people expect. The scale is too large for the brain to process it the same way as standing on a ledge. Most first-timers report surprise at how different it feels.
What's included in the 3h duration?
The 3h covers your full slot: arrival, safety briefing, gear fitting, the flight up, the jump itself, and landing. Actual freefall is a fraction of that time. The rest is preparation and controlled descent under the canopy.
Can anyone do this jump, regardless of fitness level?
The physical level is listed as 'Everybody welcome', so no specific fitness is required. If you have a medical condition, check with Skydive Luzern directly before booking.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothes and lace-up shoes with ankle support. Since the total experience runs 3h and Alpine temperatures drop with altitude, bring a light layer for waiting time on the ground.
Getting there
Head to Skydive Luzern at Flughafenstrasse 117, 2540 Grenchen, located at Grenchen Airport, roughly 35 km northwest of Lucerne city center and reachable by train via Solothurn.
