Frequently asked questions
How high is the jump, and how long is freefall?
You exit the plane at 4,000 m above ground. Freefall duration depends on altitude and deployment height, but jumps from 4,000 m typically deliver around 20 to 25 seconds of freefall before canopy opens.
Do I need any experience to do this jump?
None. The physical level is listed as “Everybody welcome”, meaning no skydiving background is required. You jump in tandem with a certified instructor who handles all controls.
What does the 259 € price include?
The fee covers your tandem instructor, full equipment (harness, jumpsuit, helmet, altimeter) and the aircraft flight to 4,000 m. Confirm directly with Skydive Center whether photos or video are included or available as an add-on.
What languages does the instructor speak?
Skydive Center operates in French, English and Italian, so the pre-jump briefing and safety instructions are available in all three languages.
