Your instructor and pilot welcomes you to our dropzone at Épagny airfield. You’re with him every step of the way, from equipment and instruction to landing. First of all, he’ll give you a harness, helmet and goggles. Secondly, you do a few exercises with him; in particular, you learn to place your arms and head in a certain position. Then you take your place in the plane with your pilot-instructor. You’re a little tense, that’s normal. The plane takes off and you relax and enjoy the view. You’ve got Lac de la Gruyère and the Fribourg Pre-Alps below you. The plane reaches 4000 m after 20 minutes of ascent, and it’s time for the final check before jumping. You and your pilot approach the door and both propel yourselves out of the plane. Free-fall lasts about 50 seconds. Then comes the moment when the pilot opens the parachute. Then comes the calm of a parachute descent, which you enjoy before landing gently at Épagny airfield. Don’t forget to keep a souvenir of your tandem jump by ordering a video when you book. If you’d like a similar experience but with less stress, we’ve got just the thing. The free-fall simulator gives you virtually the same sensations, without the slightest risk.
We have over a dozen locations in Switzerland where we do tandem skydives.
Still in the canton of Fribourg, we also jump at Écuvillens airfield. In the Bernese Oberland, we do tandem parachute jumps from a helicopter in Interlaken and from a plane in Reichenbach. But we also jump from Beromünster and Triengen airfields in the canton of Lucerne. We also jump into the canton of Neuchâtel at Colombier. Then we parachute into Bex in the canton of Vaud. We also offer tandem jumps at Grenchen airfield. On the one hand, we do tandem jumps in Valais at Rarogne airfield and Sion airport. We also have a dropzone at Sitterdorf airfield in Thurgau. But also a dropzone in Ticino at Locarno airfield. What’s more, near Basel in neighbouring Germany, we parachute at Rottweil airfield.
