Tandem skydive in Genova

No dropzone operates inside Genova. The closest option is Skydive Milano Novi Ligure in Novi Ligure (Piemonte), 60 km north. Exit altitude: 4,000m. Price from €180.

Genova sits between the Ligurian Apennines and the sea. That geography — mountains, dense airspace, a busy port — leaves no room for a skydiving airfield inside the city or the immediate province. If you want to jump, you leave Liguria. That's the honest answer, and it's completely normal.

Where to do a tandem skydive in Genova

The closest active dropzone to Genova is Paraclub Novi Ligure, based in Novi Ligure, in the Piemonte region. The drive from Genova takes roughly 50–60 minutes along the A26 motorway — about 60 km. There is no operational tandem school closer than that. Liguria has no dedicated skydiving airfield at this time.

This cross-region setup is standard across Italy. Airfields need flat terrain, low-traffic airspace, and enough clear-sky days per year. The Po Valley delivers all three. You drive north, you jump, you're back in Genova for dinner.

Why Paraclub Novi Ligure

Paraclub Novi Ligure is the recommended school for jumpers travelling from Genova for three concrete reasons.

Distance. At 60 km from Genova, it is the nearest verified dropzone. No other school in the area is closer.

Altitude. Exit is at 4,000m — the standard for tandem in Italy. You get a full 60-second freefall, not a shortened profile.

Price. The indicative price is €180, which is competitive for a full-altitude jump. Check current pricing and packages before booking, as seasonal offers apply.

How the jump works

You arrive at the airfield, complete a briefing with your instructor, and suit up. The aircraft climbs to 4,000m — roughly 15–20 minutes in the air. You exit attached to a certified tandem instructor.

Freefall lasts approximately 60 seconds at around 200 km/h. The parachute opens at roughly 1,500m. Canopy flight lasts 4–5 minutes — enough time to take in the landscape and breathe. Landing is standing up on the grass.

Total time on site is usually 2–3 hours, including waiting time and weather holds. Check age, weight, and health requirements before you book — some conditions can prevent you from jumping.

Alternatives to consider

If Novi Ligure doesn't work for your dates, two other schools operate within a reasonable drive from Genova.

Skydive Torino operates in the Piemonte area and is a viable alternative if you're flexible on direction. Distance from Genova is greater — plan for 90–120 minutes of driving.

Skydive Vercelli is another Piemonte-based dropzone with tandem activity. Similar travel time. Neither school's current pricing is listed here — contact them directly or check their pages on this portal for verified rates.

There are no verified tandem schools currently operating in Liguria, La Spezia, or Savona provinces. If that changes, this guide will be updated.

How much it costs

A tandem jump at Paraclub Novi Ligure starts at €180. That covers the jump itself at 4,000m with a certified instructor. Video and photo packages are usually sold separately.

Prices across Italian dropzones range from €170 to €280 depending on altitude, school, and season. See the full tandem skydive price guide for a comparison table and what's typically included.
