The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the jump?
Freefall is the peak: the instant the door opens and you exit the aircraft, your body hits maximum acceleration before the parachute deploys and the ride turns into a slow, panoramic glide over the Dordogne valley.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to back out?
The physical level is listed as 'Everybody welcome', so no prior experience or specific fitness is required. That said, the door of the aircraft opens at altitude, and the exposure is real. Most first-timers report the anticipation as the hardest part, not the jump itself.
Is 295 € the total price, or are there extras?
295 € is the listed price for the tandem skydive. Confirm directly with Chute Libre Dordogne whether a video or photo package is included or costs extra, as this varies by operator.
Can the jump be cancelled on the day?
Skydiving is weather-dependent. If cloud cover, wind or visibility are outside safe limits at Domme airfield, the session will be postponed. Check the operator's rescheduling policy when you book.
