Where to do a tandem skydive in Novara

There is no active dropzone inside Novara's province. The closest verified option is Vzone Skydive, located in Vercelli — approximately 27 km from Novara's city centre. That's a short drive on the A26 or the SS11, well under 30 minutes.

Vercelli sits in the same flat Po Valley corridor as Novara, which makes it a natural hub for skydiving in this part of Piemonte. The terrain below — rice fields, rivers, and the Alps on the horizon — makes for a striking freefall view.

Why Vzone Skydive

Vzone Skydive is the highest-confidence match for anyone jumping from the Novara area. A few concrete reasons to choose it:

• Exit altitude: 4,000m — the full experience, not a cut-price 3,000m jump
• Tandem instructors certified under Italian and European skydiving federations
• Located at a dedicated airfield in Vercelli, not a shared general-aviation strip
• Operates year-round, weather permitting
• Direct access from Novara: A26 motorway, no complex routing

The school does not publish a fixed price list online — contact them directly for current rates and availability. This is standard practice for Italian dropzones, where group bookings and seasonal slots affect pricing.

How the jump works

You arrive at the dropzone, fill in a waiver, and attend a 20-minute briefing with your instructor. Then you board the aircraft.

At 4,000m the door opens. Freefall lasts roughly 60 seconds at around 200 km/h. After deployment, you spend 4–5 minutes under the canopy, steering toward the landing area. The standard landing is standing up.

Total time on site is usually 2–3 hours, including waiting for your slot. For full age, weight and health requirements, see /entandem requirements.

Alternatives to consider

If Vzone Skydive is fully booked or you want to compare options, two other dropzones are within reach of Novara:

Skydive Torino — based in the Turin metropolitan area, roughly 80 km south-west of Novara. A larger operation with more frequent slots, useful if you need a weekend booking on short notice. Price on request.

Skydive Milano — located east of Milan, approximately 60 km from Novara. Convenient if you are travelling from the Novara–Milan corridor. Price on request.

Both operate at 4,000m exit altitude. Neither is as close as Vzone Skydive for someone based in Novara, but they are real alternatives worth checking if your first choice is unavailable.

How much it costs

Vzone Skydive does not list a fixed price publicly — request a quote directly through their page at /enVzone Skydive school page. As a reference, tandem jumps at 4,000m in Italy typically range between €200 and €280, depending on the school, the season, and whether you add a video package.
