Laval Skydiving

• 

The skydiving school centre operates between March and November.

Four types of skydiving are available:

• Tandem jumping: ideal for first timers, you are harnessed to a qualified instructor for around 50 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h.
• Traditional training: teaching the principles and functioning of the parachute, safety rules, body positioning in the air and landing procedures.
• Accompanied progression: minimum of six jumps accompanied by at least one instructor, to gain autonomy in freefall and under canopy.
• Parascending: accessible to young people from the age of 12, whereas other parachuting disciplines are only available to those over 15, it enables you to master a parachute via tow launched flights that ensure a regular and progressive ascent until the pilot detaches him/herself from the towline. Parachutisme Laval (Laval Skydiving)is awarded as a “French School of Parachuting”.
