Experience · Verzasca Dam, Switzerland

The GoldenEye bungee

James Bond opened GoldenEye by diving off the Verzasca Dam, and civilians have been queueing to copy him ever since: 220 metres of freefall down a curved concrete face into a Ticino valley of emerald pools.

The GoldenEye bungee, Verzasca Dam, Switzerland

Happens around Verzasca Dam, Switzerland — nearest airport Agno (LUG), about 22km away.

The experience

It is Europe's highest commercial bungee, and the seven-and-a-half-second fall leaves ample time for regret and its opposite. Jumps run roughly April to October and slots sell out, so book ahead. Recover afterwards in the absurdly clear Verzasca river downstream.
