What drives the price
The price of a tandem skydive does not depend on the school itself, but on four operational factors.
- Exit altitude — 4,000m vs 3,000m: ~30 extra seconds of freefall. Higher aircraft cost, final price +€20–€40.
- Video / photos — €80–€150. The only real record of the jump. Worth it for most first-tandem jumpers.
- Weekends / holidays — Some schools add +€10–€20 on weekends. Worth checking when booking.
- Gift voucher — Same price as a direct jump. No "gift" surcharge.
What is NOT included
- Travel to the dropzone (tandem schools are rarely in cities)
- Meals / overnight if you do a weekend
- Medical exam (not needed for tandem, but needed for AFF)
Pricing FAQs
- How much does a tandem skydive cost in Italy?
- The average price across the 25 tandem dropzones surveyed in Italy is around €215, with a typical range of €170–€350. The price includes the jump, briefing, gear and ENAC-certified instructor. Video is almost always extra (€80–€150).
- What drives the price up?
- Three factors: exit altitude (4,000m costs more than 3,000m), video/photo package, and weekend/holidays vs weekdays. Northern Italy schools tend to be more expensive than southern ones due to higher operating costs.
- Can I gift a tandem voucher?
- Yes, almost all ENAC-certified schools sell vouchers valid for 6–12 months. Important: the gift does not guarantee a specific date — tandem is weather-dependent, it must be arranged day by day.
- Is the video worth it?
- For one-time jumpers, yes. It costs €80–€150 but is the only real record of the 60 seconds of freefall. Usually filmed by the instructor with a wrist-mounted camera.
- Is it cheaper in a group?
- Often yes. Schools offer group discounts (3+ people) between 5% and 15%. Useful for bachelor parties, group birthdays, couples anniversaries.
