Hello everybody.

Do to the negative press regarding BASE Jumping in Lauterbrunnen and also the rising discontentedness of the Lauterbrunnen Farmers that own the landing fields in Lauterbrunnen, we "refunded" the SBA in order to have an organ for the communication between the affected parties in Lauterbrunnen (Lauterbrunnen Tourism and Landowners) and the BASE Jumpers.

We already had a meeting with the land owners and Lauterbrunnen Tourism some time ago.

The meeting was very positive. It seems like nobody is having a problem with the jumping in Lauterbrunnen, in contrary, the people think it brings tourism to Lauterbrunnen. The only people that feel a negative impact are the land owners. There land is damaged and they don't get any compensation for this.

We introduced a solution to them and they are happy with it.

We will sell a Landing Card valid for one Year (December previous year until January following year) to every jumper who wants to jump in Lauterbrunnen. The price of this card is CHF 20.—for one year.

The Swiss BASE Association landing card entitles you to use the designated landing areas in the valley, these will be marked with a wind sock.

The landing card costs 20 Swiss francs, is valid for one year and covers the main landing areas for Yellow Ocean, La Mousse and The Nose.

It can be purchased in the Horner Pub or the Tourist Information.

BASE Lauterbrunnen Registration

To purchase the card you have to fill the form provided on http://www.basejumper.ch. The old SBA website www.subterminal.ch will be redirected soon.

Only with the fields marked * are required.
However, the SBA would like to gather some statistical data about jumping in the valley,
so we ask each Jumper to take the time to fill in the form completely and truthfully.

Thank you.

The data will be kept confidential and details of experience and equipment will only be used anonymously.
The rescue services only have access to relevant data.

To make it easier for everybody please fill the form at home before you visit Lauterbrunnen. Let the Horner team or the Tourist Information know when you arrive and the card will be ready for you.
Otherwise you may have to wait a day to get it. (no problem jumping in the possible waiting time, no BASE police around....Wink )

Please everybody, get this card. Its cheap, and the solution for many problems.

Thank you

Moritz
