Vogorno – Verzasca
“In the service of Her Majesty, 007 (played by Pierce Brosnan) plunged with a rubber rope into the depths. 7.5 seconds free fall, 220 altitude meters, parallel to the impressive dam. The 380 meter long and 220 meter high dam wall, called the Contra, is the fourth highest in Switzerland. It is located 470 meters above sea level, at the exit to the Verzasca Valley, a rustic valley with an appealing landscape.
The Contra Dam can be reached from Gordola via a two kilometer long section of road. The jumping station is in the middle of the dam wall. It is the world’s highest stationary bungee station. A reservation is absolutely essential for those planning to take the 007 Jump or GoldenEye Bungee Jump.”
