Make a tandem parachute jump at Grenchen airfield in the canton of Solothurn

A must-do experience. It’s a chance to push back your limits and your fears.

First you’ll be greeted by an instructor-pilot in our dropzone at Grenchen airfield. Then you prepare yourself under the watchful eye of your instructor. You do some body exercises; position your head and arms during freefall. Secondly, you’ll need goggles, a helmet and possibly a suit. Then comes the moment when you board the plane with a little apprehension. Don’t worry, your instructor-pilot has thousands of jumps under his belt.
What’s more, during the ascent, which lasts around 20 minutes, you can enjoy the beautiful view from the airplane. The pressure eases and you relax a little. The pilot of the plane at 4000 m altitude gives the GO! You’re in front of your pilot and approaching the exit door. One last check and off we go at nearly 200 km/h in free fall. After around 45 seconds, your pilot opens the parachute and suddenly there’s silence, the sound of the wind fading away. You descend smoothly and land softly after a few minutes. Remember to immortalize your tandem jump by ordering a video when you book online on our site. What’s more, if you want to go skydiving on your own, you can do so with us. This is called an AFF jump and requires a day’s preparation. You jump accompanied by 2 instructors who will follow you throughout the freefall. As soon as your parachute opens after about 45 seconds, you continue your descent on your own. You are in radio contact with an instructor on the ground, who guides you through to landing. For the less adventurous, we have free-fall simulators in Sion and Winterthur. You get exactly the same sensations as in a real freefall.

We offer numerous dropzones in Switzerland from various airfields, as well as in Germany near Basel.

We do tandem jumps from Interlaken and Reichenbach airfields in the Bernese Oberland. We also parachute from Beromünster and Triengen airfields in the canton of Lucerne.

Tandem skydiving in Rarogne, Valais, over the Rhone Valley

It’s a chance to overcome your fears by stepping out of your comfort zone. Dare to do the impossible. Skydiving can change your life

First, when you arrive at Raron airport, you’ll be assigned an instructor-pilot from start to finish. He’s the one who gives you all the equipment you need for safety, with a harness adapted to your size. Secondly, your instructor will instruct you on how to position your arms and head during freefall. Then you take your place in the plane with your instructor-pilot. The aircraft at the end of the runway begins to roll, picking up speed and taking off rapidly with several tandems on board. The mood is jovial as we wait to reach the jump altitude of 4000 m. As you climb, you can see the Rhône plain below you. Then the plane’s pilot calls the GO, meaning you can jump. Your instructor-pilot performs a final check before moving towards the aircraft door. Then you both propel yourselves out of the cabin. Speed accelerates rapidly to almost 200 km/h. An adrenalin rush takes over you for a second, and you hold your breath for a moment. We’re doing great! The freefall lasts about 50 seconds, and the cameraman following you films the entire freefall. You reach 1500 m altitude and it’s time for the pilot to open the parachute.
Then comes an almost total silence and you realize that you’ve taken that leap and overcome your fear. Your pilot makes a very soft landing on the Rarogne dropzone. To preserve this memory, don’t forget to order a video or photos when you book on our website. If you’d like to take the plunge, but are still hesitating, then the flight simulator is for you. Today’s technology makes it possible to simulate freefall in a wind tunnel with virtually the same sensations. We have two free-fall simulators, one in Sion and the other in Winterthur.
