Indoor skydiving in the Windwerk Winterthur
What this experience is about
At Windwerk Winterthur, you'll experience indoor skydiving in a vertical flight chamber, safely accompanied by certified instructors. The airflow carries you like in freefall from a great height, without an airplane, without a parachute, and completely independent of the weather. Before the flight, you'll receive an introduction to body position, communication, and safety. Afterward, you'll be equipped with a flight suit, helmet, goggles, and ear protection, and then take off in the wind tunnel. The experience is suitable for children aged 5 and up, adults, families, groups of friends, birthdays, bachelor/bachelorette parties, company outings, and team events. Each person flies individually with a one-on-one instructor in the wind tunnel, while the group can watch and share in the excitement.
