The device may be <strong>a hot-air balloon, a plane or anything else moving through the air.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you're new to skydiving, don't worry, you don't have to jump alone! Fortunately, tandem skydiving is available to all non-professionals. In this case, you're securely attached to a professional instructor who's jumped thousands of times.<\/p>\n<p>The instructor is responsible for timing the jump from the plane, opening the parachute at the right moment and descending safely. All you need to do is relax (as much as possible!) and enjoy the ride. <strong>enjoy the view.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2500\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"skydiving in barcelona\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/saut-en-parachute-barcelone.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132230348\"><\/a><strong>How do I get to the skydiving center in Barcelona?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>There are two skydiving centers in Catalonia, and the closest to Barcelona is Saltamos Village.<\/p>\n<p>The Saltamos skydiving center is located close to Sant Fruit\u00f3s de Bages, a village in the heart of the French Alps. <strong>one hour from Barcelona <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/driving-to-barcelona\/\">by car<\/a>.<\/strong> If you don't have a car, you can also get to Manresa by train. Take the FGC (Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat de Catalunya) R5 train from Place Espanya to Manresa Alta.<\/p>\n<p>The journey in <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/train-barcelona\/\">train<\/a> takes 1 h 30 and costs around \u20ac8.5. Once in Manresa Alta, Saltamos offers a free shuttle service. <strong>from this station to the skydiving center.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132230349\"><\/a><strong>When is the best time to skydive in Barcelona?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Skydiving can be enjoyed all year round. Perhaps the best time <strong>would be in spring (April and May)<\/strong>because the landscape is greener.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes you may have to wait a while until the wind dies down and conditions are right for jumping.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132230350\"><\/a><strong>How much does skydiving cost in Barcelona?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The price of a tandem jump is <strong>274 \u20ac\/person<\/strong>. This includes a briefing, the necessary equipment, the flight and the jump. Bear in mind that this rate does not include any photos or videos, so you'll need to pay for these separately.<\/p>\n<p>The price depends on what you want (photos, video or both) and how they are made. Although these photos aren't cheap, I advise you to order them. After all, they're a great souvenir to bring back from your trip.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132230351\"><\/a><strong>How does skydiving in Barcelona work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First and foremost, the company you've chosen to skydive with provides for <strong>a full briefing on what's going to happen<\/strong>. This way, you can prepare yourself mentally for your jump. Once this briefing is over, you're fitted with the wetsuit and parachute you'll be using. If you wish to jump in tandem, your instructor will carry the parachute.<\/p>\n<p>You can then head for the plane, which will take you to the right altitude. After a 15-minute flight, you'll soon be waiting for the 4000 m mark. This is the <strong>the ideal distance for skydiving.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>An unforgettable fall over Barcelona<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After your jump, the freefall takes you to speeds of around 200 km\/h. I'd advise you to make the most of this short fall. Indeed, it may seem like an eternity, <strong>it lasts only about a minute<\/strong>. The parachute is then deployed to reduce your speed.<\/p>\n<p>You then descend slowly to your arrival point on the ground. A team is waiting to undeck you. You can then return to the skydiving center. Depending on what you've paid, <strong>your photos and videos.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Parachute jumping in Barcelona is a unique experience that I recommend you try if you're not afraid of heights. From the air, you'll enjoy a bird's-eye view of the city. A unique viewpoint that<strong> you won't even get to the highest point of the city.<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pour une exp\u00e9rience unique, je vous conseille de faire un saut en parachute au-dessus de Barcelone.
