In 1995 the opening scene of “Goldeneye” raised the bar for James Bond movies, with an eye-popping stunt that featured a bungee jump from the top of the Contra Dam in southern Switzerland. If you’ve ever seen the movie and marvelled at the nerves it must have taken, now is your chance to see if you have what it takes to be a Hollywood stuntman. Step up to the edge, recreate the iconic leap, that is considered one of the greatest stunts ever performed, and plunge 220m (722ft) - even for bungee aficionados, this one is simply unforgettable.
The Contra Dam, which is also known as the Locarno Dam, is as aesthetically-pleasing as it is a feat of engineering. Famed for its clean design, it holds back some 105 million cubic metres of water, so if while you’re preparing to jump you hear any creaking sounds, you might want to skip coffee afterwards. Joking aside, you will find several awesome bungee jumps in the Tinggly portfolio, but few to rival this for location. If you’re looking for a gift experience in Switzerland, have a thirst for adventure and a head for heights, book today.
