Tandem skydive in Ravenna
The closest dropzone to Ravenna is Skydive Pull Out Ravenna. Exit altitude: 4,000m. Price: €220. 60 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h, then 4–5 min under canopy.
Ravenna sits in the flat Emilia-Romagna plain, 156,696 people, UNESCO mosaics, Adriatic coast 10 km east. It also has a dropzone within reach. Here is exactly where to go and what to expect.
Where to do a tandem skydive in Ravenna
The recommended school is Paracadutismo Ravenna. It operates directly in the Ravenna area, so you are not driving to another province. Exit altitude is 4,000m — the standard ceiling for tandem jumps in Italy and the one that gives you a full 60 seconds of freefall.
Booking is straightforward: pick a date, confirm your slot, show up 30–45 minutes before your jump window. Weather cancellations are rescheduled, not charged.
Why Paracadutismo Ravenna
Three reasons this school is the first recommendation for anyone searching in the Ravenna province:
Location. No detour to Bologna or Ferrara. The dropzone is local, which matters when you are coordinating a group or working around a travel day.
Altitude. 4,000m exit is non-negotiable if you want a real freefall. Some smaller Italian dropzones cap at 3,000m and cut your freefall to under 30 seconds. Paracadutismo Ravenna does not.
Price transparency. €220 is the indicative tandem price. No hidden fuel surcharges quoted after you arrive.
How the jump works
You jump in tandem with a certified instructor — one harness, two people. The sequence:
Ground briefing (15–20 min): body position, exit posture, landing procedure.
Climb to 4,000m (10–15 min by plane).
Freefall: 60 seconds at roughly 200 km/h. This is the part people remember.
Canopy flight: 4–5 minutes gliding down. You can steer if the instructor lets you.
Landing: standing, on a grass runway.
Total time on site: 2–3 hours including waiting and briefing. For full age, weight, and health requirements, see tandem requirements.
Alternatives to consider
If Paracadutismo Ravenna is fully booked or you want to compare options, two dropzones within reasonable driving distance of Ravenna are worth checking:
Skydive Ferrara — roughly 70 km north-west of Ravenna. Operates in the Po Delta flatlands, similar terrain, similar exit altitudes. Check their calendar independently for availability.
Skydive Bologna — approximately 80 km west. Larger operation, more jump slots per day, useful if you need a specific weekend date. Both are in Emilia-Romagna, so the landscape from altitude looks comparable.
Neither alternative is closer to Ravenna than Paracadutismo Ravenna. If proximity is your priority, stay with the local option.
