Tandemotion: the big jump over Lorraine
Fancy some real thrills during your stay? Tandemotion, a reference for skydiving in Lorraine, offers tandem first jumps over the region, notably from Nancy-Tomblaine airport, right by the city. Securely harnessed to an instructor, you savour a few seconds of freefall then a canopy flight, with sweeping views over Lorraine. An experience supervised by professionals, the standout memory of a trip to Nancy.
Tandem jumping, no experience needed
Tandem is the ideal way to discover freefall with no prior training at all. You are harnessed to an experienced instructor who flies the entire jump, from exiting the plane to landing. After a few intense seconds of freefall, the canopy opens and gives way to a calmer glide, perfect for taking in the scenery. You simply need to be in good physical shape: the activity is open to a wide audience, from accompanied teenagers to adults of all ages, within the club's limits.
Jumping over Nancy and Lorraine
Depending on the dates, jumps take place at different zones across the region. Some are held at Nancy-Tomblaine airport, right near the centre, offering the rare chance to see the city from the sky. The club also operates at other landmark sites of Lorraine aviation, known for their wide horizons. As slots depend on weather and the club's calendar, it is essential to book ahead and check the planned jump zone for your date on the official website.
How the day unfolds
On the day, the team welcomes you, checks conditions and explains the safety rules and the body position to adopt. You then put on the harness before boarding the plane to climb to jump altitude. You may need a little patience: rotations depend on the weather and the number of participants. So plan to leave time and wear comfortable clothing. Some packages include a video or photos, precious for capturing this out-of-the-ordinary moment.
An experience participants praise
The welcome and the team's professionalism come up very often in participants' feedback, reassuring when you take the plunge for the first time. Many describe an adrenaline rush followed by a real sense of freedom under the canopy. It makes a great gift idea or challenge to take on, solo or in a group, for those wanting to push their limits. For a stay in Nancy, tandem jumping turns a simple visit into an adventure you remember for a long time.
