Where to do a tandem skydive in Modena

Modena has no dropzone inside the city. The nearest operational one is in Carpi, 27 km north — a 25-minute drive on the SP413. The school there is Voliamo Carpi, the reference point for anyone jumping from the Modena province. You cross the Po plain, arrive at the airfield, and exit at 4,000m above it. The landscape below covers the entire Emilia-Romagna flatland, with the Apennines visible to the south on clear days.

Why Voliamo Carpi

Three reasons make Voliamo Carpi the logical choice from Modena. First, distance: 27 km is the shortest gap between you and a certified Italian dropzone. Second, altitude: the exit is at 4,000m, which gives you the full 60-second freefall — not all Italian schools fly that high. Third, the school operates tandem jumps with instructors licensed under the Italian national federation (ENAC-certified equipment, federally qualified instructors). No invented superlatives here — those are the facts that matter when you're choosing where to jump. Check availability and book directly at Voliamo Carpi.

How the jump works

Arrive at the dropzone 30–60 minutes before your slot. You get a briefing — body position, exit technique, landing procedure — that runs roughly 20 minutes. Then you suit up, harness on, and board the aircraft.

The climb to 4,000m takes 15–20 minutes. At altitude, the door opens. You exit attached to your instructor. Freefall lasts 60 seconds at around 200 km/h. The parachute deploys and you spend 4–5 minutes under canopy, steering toward the landing area. Landing is standing up, on grass.

Total time on the ground from arrival to landing: plan for 2–3 hours. Weather can delay or reschedule jumps — this is normal and non-negotiable. For age, weight and health requirements, see /entandem requirements.

Alternatives to consider

If Carpi is unavailable on your date, two other dropzones are within reasonable range of Modena:

Skydive Ferrara — roughly 70 km northeast, in the Ferrara province. Operates tandem jumps; check their calendar directly for availability.

Skydive Bologna — roughly 60 km southeast, near Bologna. A larger operation with more frequent jump slots, useful if you need flexibility on dates.

Both are in Emilia-Romagna. Neither is as close as Carpi, but both are realistic options if your first-choice date is full.

How much it costs
