Where it's at

Locarno is located in Ticino, the Italian style region of Switzerland - with its palm trees, piazzas, pizzas and pasta, you would never think that this is a part of the same country that produces Swiss cheese. The financial hub of Lucarno, once home of a post WWI peace conference, is a good place to explore the nearby hills and Lake Maggiore.

Our journey path
(as featured in Treks in a Wild World)

Our presenter follows in the footsteps of James Bond (or his stuntman at least!) as he bungy jumps his way down an 700 foot dam.

Tips

Make sure you only bungy jump with an experienced professional. Our Guide, Antoni Draganits of Trekking Team AG has hundreds of jumps under his belt and and has supervised over 1000 people jump.

Did you know?

- the Dam is the world's highest bungy jump at 700 feet
- It featured in the James Bond Film 'Goldeneye'.
