Parachute jumping
Parachute jumping
Mountains are about height, freedom, beauty, and endless natural spaces. What if you look at the mysterious Carpathian landscapes from a new angle? To discover new heights from above?
Parachuting in the Carpathians is more than just activity in the bosom of nature and aircraft. It is a dream and fear at the same time, it is a challenge for yourself and another important life achievement that can be proud of among a close environment.
The benefits of jumping in the Carpathians
If you did not have a parachute, the Carpathian location: the point on the map, from which to start conquering the peaks and endless spaces. Double height, double adrenaline, double aesthetic pleasure! And yet:
- Overcoming your own fears. To go where it is scary and to get what they get only to the brave. Parachute jumping in this aspect is a separate kind of life philosophy.
- An immediate charge of new emotions and relief from stress and tension. The adrenaline produced during extreme activities purifies and fills the soul with unforgettable impressions, energy and strength.
- A unique location, straightening your hands over which one can fly like a falcon, watching the pristine landscapes of the Carpathians.
- Professional training, safe equipment, the best qualified instructors who know about the Carpathian airspace and its character, and somewhat more.
- The opportunity to bend a parachute for newcomers and experienced masters of their business.
- A favourable price for a skydive when you pay only for training, equipment and organisation of jumps, and the unrealistic beauty of the Carpathian Mountains is a bonus to the flight. You won't see this at ordinary airfields in cities!
Types of jumps
With an instructor
Beginner skydivers who dream of skydiving but are afraid of making mistakes or losing self-control during emotional physical activity can trust professional instructors and conquer the airspace of the Carpathians with an instructor.
Tandem skydiving with an instructor is carried out at an altitude of 3000–4000 metres, where the instructor takes full control of the adrenaline action, and you enjoy the beauty of the Carpathians without unnecessary worries and worries that something will go wrong. You will have about 40 seconds of free fall!
Beforehand, you must undergo a short safety briefing and behaviour in the air.
The general age limit for beginners who plan to skydive in Ukraine is from 15 years old with parental permission.
Self-jump
For those daredevils who want to be fully saturated with crazy emotions, to control time, space and strength of mind during 2-3 seconds of free fall, there is an opportunity to jump independently from a height of 700 metres without an instructor. Before gaining a new flight experience, skydivers undergo a 3-hour briefing and preparation for the jump.
For a parachute jump with the instructor, the price depends on the type of variant selected. Unaccompanied by an experienced parachutist, it can change.
How to prepare for a jump?
To make a frantic dream, it is necessary:
- book a room at the Stara Pravda Hotel, which is ideal as a base for parachutists, where it is quiet, warm and delicious in the Carpathian way;
- take your passport before travelling to the airfield;
- choose comfortable clothes that match the season and climatic conditions;
- put on comfortable sports shoes, which is a significant percentage of landing success;
- try to control yourself, control emotions, and listen to the instructor's advice;
- prepare gadgets and a USB stick to share photos and videos of the jump.
Starting the day in a good mood by choosing an unforgettable active vacation at the Stara Pravda hotel is a bold step towards a crazy experience of free fall and expanding your horizons in the literal sense.
