What types of jumps can be done here?

The good thing about 07 is that you have the option to make a classic jump, but also a pendulum jump. We explain the difference:

- Classic solo jump: from the Banne viaduct, you will be able to launch yourself into the air solo as part of a basic bungee jump, which will give you a first impressive and adrenaline-filled experience. If you want to keep the memory of this adventure, you can take an additional video option.

- Classic tandem jump: If this is not your first bungee jumping experience and you want to live a unique experience with a loved one, start from Banne and make a tandem jump that will mark you for life.

- Pendulum jump: In the whole department, this jump is only done from the Auzon Viaduct. It is similar to the classic jump with a small difference in the trajectory after the fall. In fact, the movements of the elastic rope during a normal jump are vertical, while during the pendulum jump, the elastic performs horizontal movements, giving the impression of being on a large swing in a picturesque setting.
