Skydiving in Courchevel is an experience like no other. Imagine jumping out of a plane at an altitude of over 5,000 metres, before plunging into freefall at over 200 kph. It's a unique and unforgettable experience that will give you thrills like never before.

Parachute jumping is a highly regulated and supervised activity, which is practised in tandem, i.e. attached to an experienced instructor. The instructor takes care of everything, from equipment and safety to the instructions needed to make the jump with complete confidence. Parachute jumping in Courchevel is reserved for people over the age of 15, with double parental authorisation.

The most exciting part of the jump is, of course, the freefall, which lasts around 40 seconds before the parachute opens. It's an intense, euphoric moment, when the adrenalin is at its peak. After the freefall, the instructor opens the parachute and allows you to glide gently for around 5 minutes, until you land.

A tandem skydiving experience in Courchevel is also a great gift idea for someone who doesn't dare take the plunge without a little help.

💰 Price:

€450 per person
