Created in 1985, the "Ecole de Parachutisme de Château d'Oex (EPCO)", now known as "Skydive Gruyère", was the third professional school in Switzerland. It is recognized by Swiss Skydive and is also a "foreign group member" of the United States Parachute Association (USPA).

Since 1995, EPCO teaches at the "Aérodrome de la Gruyère" in Epagny-Switzerland. We also propose training courses abroad several times a year.

EPCO teaches skydiving following the most modern methods and with top quality and leading edge equipment.

We can also propose you to discovery skyding with a first jump in "tandem" : For such jump, you'll be securely strapped in a harness to an instructor equipped with a two-person parachute. After leaving the plane at an altitude of 4'000 meters, you will freefall for 2'500 meters in a little less than one minute. At about 1'500 meters from the ground, your instructor will open the parachute and will encourage you to help maneuvre the canopy thanks to the double steering commands. After flying for about 5 minutes, he will assist you in a soft landing back on earth.

Tandem jumps can be done from April to October. The day begins on the dropzone at 8.30 in the morning and you should plan to remain for the day…
