Cliff diving - where in Switzerland??

So back home in Vermont, a state abound in rivers, lakes and flooded quarries, cliff diving is a popular activity among the adrenaline junkies.

While I do not and will never take Lac Leman and other nearby lakes for granted, jumping off docks and such just isn't cutting it for me. I miss the 10-30m cliffs with waterfalls and natural rock formations.

Here's yours truly at our local jaunt: Bingham Falls in my hometown of Stowe



In Switzerland, I've only been able to find mentions of one or two places in the south, such as this one in Brontallo. Any others???

Sheer (!) coincidence then, as there was a story about it
