Skydiving in Tallard: an aerial adventure close to Lac de Serre Ponçon
About an hour's drive from Camping la Palatrière, the Gap-Tallard airfield is recognized as one of the best skydiving sites in Europe. Located in the Hautes-Alpes region, it offers exceptional weather conditions, with over 300 days of sunshine a year, allowing skydiving in a spectacular natural setting. Panoramic views of Lake Serre Ponçon, the Alpine peaks and surrounding valleys make every jump unforgettable.
Tandem skydiving is available from the age of 15, providing an ideal opportunity for families to share an extraordinary adventure. After ground training, participants are fitted out and board a plane that takes them to an altitude of 4,000 meters. The 50-second free-fall at 200 km/h provides an intense adrenalin rush, followed by a 5 to 8-minute parachute descent to admire the Alpine scenery. This activity is supervised by professional instructors, ensuring safety and conviviality for a memorable family experience.
