Skydiving in RAROGNE – TANDEM JUMP FROM A PLANE – From CHF 430.00

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.

On the Swissraft website, you’ll find a dozen dropzones in Switzerland at various airfields.

What’s more, we also have a dropzone at Sion airport. But also at Bex airfield in the canton of Vaud. We do parachute jumping at Écuvillens and Épagny in the canton of Fribourg. But also to Interlaken from a helicopter and to Reichenbach airfield from a plane. We also jump from Beromünster and Triengen airfields in the canton of Lucerne. At the same time, we do a tandem jump at Colombier on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. In fact, we do tandem parachuting in the canton of Solothurn from Grenchen airfield.
We also have a dropzone at Sitterdorf airfield in Thurgau. But also at Locarno-Magadino airfield in Ticino. And in Germany from Rottweil near Basel.
