Activity description
Tandem skydiving in Péronne, near Paris, is an experience you won't soon forget!
Open the door of the plane at an altitude of 4,000 metres, walk to the edge and... take the plunge! It sounds completely crazy and dangerous - let's just say your mother might not agree. Jumping out of a moving plane may not seem like the best idea you could have... Yet skydiving is actually one of the most regulated activities in the world.
Supervised by a professional that will take care of everything, you will discover new and incredible sensations: the free fall, the feeling of flying and of course, the adrenaline! Tandem skydiving is definitely something to try at least once in your life!
In addition to the sensations of skydiving, you will discover a new point of view on the landscapes of the Hauts-de-France region. Located in Péronne, this jumping area is the closest to Paris.
So make your tandem skydive less than 150 km from Paris and leave with a wonderful souvenir in mind!
You leave for a tandem parachute jump from a minimum altitude of 3500m!
Course of events
- You arrive at the Drop Zone and will be briefed by the instructor.
- You are called to jump and fitted with the harness which is then connected to your instructor's harness.
- You climb aboard the aircraft and fly for 15-20 minutes to reach jump altitude. During the flight, you strap in with your instructor and put on the protective jump goggles that will allow you to enjoy the view during the jump.
- At 4,000m... it's the moment of truth. You launch from the plane for a 40 to 50 second freefall, at speeds of up to 200km/h!
- Your instructor deploys the parachute at an altitude of 1,500m and you can recover from your emotions by observing the landscape that unfolds beneath your feet.
- Landing and debriefing of the jump on arrival.
