Bern's Drop Zone Options for Licensed Jumpers

Bern enjoys an outstanding location for licensed skydivers. Swiss Boogie in Kappelen (~30 km) is Switzerland's largest and most social drop zone, with a full calendar of fun jump days, organised loads, and occasional boogie events. DZ47 in Grenchen (~40 km) adds a second highly active option with a strong freefly community.

Swiss Boogie in particular is a favourite for licensed jumpers visiting Switzerland — large landing area, multiple aircraft, active manifest from early morning on weekends, and a community pub on site. The Bernese Mittelland setting offers clear views to the Alps on good weather days, and the flying conditions are consistently good throughout the season.

Foreign licences are accepted at both DZs. Bring your licence card and logbook. Contact the DZ directly to confirm first-visit check-jump procedures.

Swiss Boogie is one of the most international-friendly drop zones in Switzerland. Visiting jumpers from across Europe and beyond are a regular sight on peak weekends.

Yes. Swiss Boogie has on-site camping and occasionally offers accommodation options during events. DZ47 in Grenchen has hotels nearby in Grenchen town. Many visiting skydivers combine a Bern weekend with a day or two at the DZ — the train and bus connections from Bern to Kappelen are convenient.
Both Swiss Boogie and DZ47 support a full range of disciplines: freefly (head-down, head-up, sit-fly), RW/formation skydiving, angle flying, wingsuit (check currency requirements), and canopy piloting. Swiss Boogie has the more active overall scene due to its size; DZ47 is particularly strong for freefly.
