Bungee jumping
At about 182 m above the void, the Pont de l’Artuby is one of the highest bridges in Europe for bungee jumping — at the southern gateway to the Grand Canyon of the Verdon. A single operator, Latitude Challenge, has supervised jumping there for over 35 years, between Trigance and Aiguines.
Unlike the Verdon’s other activities, bungee jumping at the Pont de l’Artuby comes down to a single place and a single operator. No multitude of providers to compare, but a precise site, measured and supervised for decades — which, with its announced height of about 182 m, has become one of Europe’s best-known destinations for this discipline.
A single-arch reinforced-concrete road bridge, built between 1937 and 1940 by the engineer Albert Caquot, spanning the Artuby gorges at the southern gateway to the Grand Canyon of the Verdon. According to Latitude Challenge and the Verdon tourist offices, the jump height reaches about 182 m above the void — one of the highest in Europe for bungee jumping.
The site’s sole operator, Latitude Challenge has supervised bungee jumping here for over 35 years and claims more than 90,000 jumps completed. No tandem jumps are offered: each participant jumps alone, secured by a rope and supervised from the ground.
We do not publish an unverified telephone number for this operator: booking is made exclusively online, directly on the official Latitude Challenge website — the only operator of the Pont de l’Artuby.

Reception on Saturday from 10am to 12pm and on Sunday from 9am to 12pm; jumps take place only at weekends (Friday is added from mid-July to mid-August). The bridge can be reached only by car, under your own steam — no bus serves the site. Allow the whole day.

Booking is made exclusively online on the Latitude Challenge website, ideally about 15 days in advance. Jumps take place only at weekends, over a season that runs broadly from April to November according to the local tourist offices, with an extension to Friday from mid-July to mid-August. Reception is on Saturday from 10am to 12pm and on Sunday from 9am to 12pm. The jump is postponed to a new date in case of unfavourable weather.
The bridge is on the D71 departmental road, between the communes of Trigance and Aiguines (Var), close to Comps-sur-Artuby. It can be reached only by car, under your own steam: no bus serves the site. Allow the whole day, between the journey, the reception and the walk back up after the jump.
No, Latitude Challenge does not offer tandem jumps: each participant jumps alone. People with reduced mobility can, however, take part if they have good use of their arms, which is needed for the climb back up after the jump — it is done on foot, along a sporty, little-developed path, in about 30 to 45 minutes.
