Skydiving near Lake Maggiore: tandem jumps from €180
About 115 km from Verbania. Book for free and pay on the day of your jump.
Your first tandem jump near Lake Maggiore
If you are setting off from Lake Maggiore for your first jump, Accademia di Paracadutismo is a skydiving school in Casale Monferrato, about 115 km from Verbania. Jumps from 4,200 metres with licensed instructors and nothing to pay up front.
From the Piedmont or Lombardy shore
Lake Maggiore is one of the easiest areas to reach us from: from Verbania it is about an hour and 20 minutes by car, and less from the towns further south on the Piedmont shore, such as Arona. From the Swiss shore, in Locarno, the drive is longer but prices differ a lot: in the canton of Ticino a tandem from 4,000 metres costs CHF 445 (October 2026 price list), with us €180-200.
How to plan the day
You need a car: the airfield is outside town and there is no transport service from Casale Monferrato station. You spend 2-3 hours at the airfield in total, so leaving in the morning you are back on the lake in the afternoon. If you are on holiday, book early in your stay: if the weather means moving the jump, we reschedule at no cost.
Prices and booking
A tandem skydive costs €180 on weekdays and €200 at weekends and on public holidays, with briefing, gear and instructor included; photos and video are optional extras from €40 to €90. You book for free on the book now page and pay on the day. The route from Verbania is on the skydiving near Verbania page.
How the tandem jump works
From the initial briefing to the flight you are always harnessed to a certified instructor: 25 minutes of scenic flight, 60 seconds of freefall at 200 km/h and a gentle descent under the canopy. No experience required. The whole day, step by step, is in our guide to your first tandem skydive.
