What to do when you arrive
On arrival, you’ll receive documentation and equipment checks – this is our internal inspection to increase the safety for yourself and all others on the dropzone. All skydivers will undergo a dropzone briefing, landing area introduction and equipment check by one of our authorized staff.
Please note that while Skydive Switzerland will try and facilitate as much as we can, it is your responsibility to prove that your own documentation is valid, in date and in a language (English/German) that can be read by our staff.
Insurance is only required if you are jumping your own gear. The insurance is not medical insurance, it is in case of damage to a third party’s property (house, car, etc). We are unable to sell the insurance directly, and you’ll need to organise this before you jump. You can purchase the insurance from Swiss Skydive through the below link.
