On an extreme sports weekend in Switzerland you can recreate one of cinema's most famous stunts when James Bond in GoldenEye took a bungee jump off the top of the Verzasca Dam. Other high-adrenaline thrills on offer include abseiling, mountain biking, paragliding and white water rafting.

Who can forget the opening scene of GoldenEye, voted the top film stunt of all time? Bond plummets from a dam, its sheer concrete face seemingly feet away from his falling body.
This 220-metre freefall drop is a rush like no other. Fancy having a go yourself? It’s only 90 minutes from Zurich airport, so you can escape the office on Friday afternoon, and be sipping champagne on Lake Maggiore by mid-evening in preparation for the big plunge.
Stay at the Hotel Garni Millennium, a cosy traditional hotel in the heart of Locarno’s old town, and the perfect base for exploring the surrounding area and world-famous Lake Maggiore.
For more thrills try your hand at abseiling or canyoning, or head to nearby St Moritz for some of Europe’s best white water in the dramatic Scuol gorge. Raft down the rocky white flow, look down on the stunning river and forests from a paraglider, or enjoy some downhill mountain biking.
Perhaps you’d prefer to be based at the Badrutt’s Palace, where the rich and beautiful meet for après ski in the winter, and where you can spend summer evenings dining on top notch sushi in their Nobu restaurant. With luxurious rooms finished with silk and leather, and an outdoor pool overlooking the Swiss Alps, it’s the perfect spot for post-adrenalin recuperation.
