“The experience was great, however one of our guides was very mean and condescending.”

Burgdorf is a small town in the Emmental region of the canton of Bern and is known as the gateway to the area. The townscape is dominated by Burgdorf Castle, which sits on elevated ground, the town church, and the well-preserved old town featuring an upper and lower district. Along the Emme River, you'll find bridges, riverside paths, and former industrial zones that recall the area's industrial past. In the alleys of the upper town, you can explore arcades, historic façades, and squares with views overlooking the town and surrounding countryside. Just a short distance from the compact town center, you reach the rolling hills of the Emmental, dotted with fields, forests, and scattered farms.

on Canyon Swing Grindelwald Glacier Canyon“Bungee jumping was a real highlight for us and an experience we won’t forget anytime soon. Huge thanks to Allan, Martin, and Rayno – you were amazing! From the very start, we felt well taken care of and safe with you. Everything was explained thoroughly and clearly, and the relaxed, easygoing atmosphere really helped to manage the nerves before the jump. 😊 The backdrop is simply spectacular, making the experience even more special. Even for spectators who don’t want to jump themselves, it’s definitely worth coming along – just the view and the atmosphere are impressive. A unique experience, a great team, and a fantastic location – highly recommended!”
