The original jump of James Bond

A unique experience: be like James Bond for once!

Suitable for teenagers & adults

James Bond Bungee Jump (Ticino, CH)

Name: Lakeview Camping Resort Cannobio
Price range: $$

About 40 minutes from Cannobio Lakeview Camp & Resort is the Valle Verzasca(Verzasca Valley). The dam at the entrance to the valley in the village of Vogorno is 220 m high, one of the highest dams in the world, and an important supplier of electricity for Ticino and southern Switzerland.

The dam became world famous in 1995: In the opening scene of James Bond’s “Goldeneye,” the British secret agent James Bond runs over the wall, attaches himself to a rope and jumps down the 220-meter-high wall to penetrate a Russian chemical plant. Of course, the quick change of location is fictional and the Verzasca Valley is obviously not in Russia, but the jump is quite real and breathtaking: During the summer months, a Swiss company offers the world-famous jump from the Verzasca Dam from 220m, one of the highest bungee jumps in the world, on a daily basis. Jumps are also possible in the off-season by arrangement.

At around 200 francs, this jump is not exactly a cheap adventure, but it is a truly unique one.

With night jumps at full moon, backward jump and Ultimo jump (legs ahead) there are more adrenaline kicks for brave adventure vacationers who are looking for the unique experience. A truly unique experience for anyone looking for an adrenaline rush.
But even for those less adventurous, a trip to the Verzasca Dam and the James Bond Bungee Jump is well worth it: visitors can walk across the dam and look the brave bungee jumpers right in the eye as they leap. You also get to witness the preparation process and the winch pull-up after a successful bungee jump up close. Many people came just to watch but ended up getting swept up in the atmosphere and took the plunge themselves!
Parking is available right at the entrance to the Verzasca Dam, though spaces can sometimes be a bit scarce during peak season. From Gordola or Tenero, you can also easily reach the dam and the other attractions in the Verzasca Valley by PostBus (public bus), which is especially stress-free in the summer.

If the James Bond Verzasca bungee jump is too crazy for you, we have a nice alternative. Also adrenaline-filled, but perhaps not quite as extreme: Zipline Lago Maggiore – fly like a bird at 120km/h approx. 350m above the ground. Almost 100 seconds long!
