What is a wind tunnel?

A wind tunnel, also known as an indoor free-fall simulator, is a large glass tube that reproduces the sensations of free-fall at an altitude of 4,200 meters.

How does it work?

Duration: 2 min - Up to 12 people - From 5 years upwards

On arrival, the instructor will provide you with your equipment: wetsuit, helmet and goggles. You will then receive a briefing on the safety instructions to be followed. You'll then take turns in the wind tunnel. A baptism consists of two flights, each lasting 1 minute, which corresponds to the free-fall time of a parachute jump at 4200 m. A baptism is therefore equivalent to 2 airplane jumps! Debriefing and awarding of a diploma at the end of the activity.

This activity is ideal as a gift for a loved one, or as part of a bachelor party.
