What is Bun-J-Ride Saint-Jean-de-Sixt

The Bun-J-Ride at Saint-Jean-de-Sixt is a thrill activity offered in the heart of the Aravis range, between La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand. The principle: a giant swing (not a classic bungee jump) from an elevated platform, with a free-fall followed by a long pendulum oscillation above the void. The activity is supervised by professional instructors, with safety equipment provided (double harness, lanyards), and preceded by a complete briefing on rules and procedure.

Who is it for? The Bun-J-Ride is aimed at people in good health, from a minimum age (usually 14-16 depending on operator, parental consent required for minors) and within a defined weight range (typically ~40-110 kg). No previous experience required: personal commitment and trust in the equipment matter most. Jumps can be solo or tandem (two people attached together), with photo/video options to keep a memory of the fall. This is one of the most intense activities in Haute-Savoie, recommended for thrill-seekers and lovers of panoramic Aravis views.

Booking and good to know. The activity is seasonal (usually May to October depending on snow and weather) and very weather-dependent: wind, rain or storms may cause postponement. Advance booking is essential, especially during school holidays and summer weekends. Bring sportswear, closed shoes, and an ID card (minors: signed parental authorization). On site, plan 1-2 hours (briefing, kit, wait, jump, debriefing). Official site and 2026 prices to confirm via the Saint-Jean-de-Sixt tourist office or the operator.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference with a classic bungee jump?

Bun-J-Ride is a giant swing: after the free-fall, the strap swings you horizontally (not vertically like a classic bungee). The thrill is strong and lasts longer, without the brutal rebound.

What's the minimum age to jump?

Minimum age is usually 14-16 depending on operator. Signed parental authorization is required for minors. Good physical condition and a weight within the allowed range (~40-110 kg) are required.

How much does a jump cost?

An individual jump generally costs between €50 and €90 depending on site, height and package. Photo and video are often optional extras. 2026 prices to confirm with operator.

What happens if the weather is bad?

In case of strong wind, rain or storm, the activity is postponed for safety reasons. The operator offers a free reschedule to another slot.

Can I watch without jumping?

Yes, companions can watch from an observation area, free of charge. Ideal to support a loved one or take photos.

How do I prepare for the jump?

Wear sportswear and closed shoes, and bring your ID card (parental authorization for minors). Avoid jewellery and come well hydrated. The on-site briefing covers everything else.

What to do nearby after the jump?

Saint-Jean-de-Sixt sits between La Clusaz and Le Grand-Bornand: hikes, lakes, resorts and character villages. Easy to combine with a mountain day or a foodie stop.
