Skydiving in Quebec

Want to discover the sensations of skydiving in Quebec without getting into an airplane? In Laval, very close to Montreal, indoor freefall makes it possible to fly in a large vertical wind tunnel.

The air pushed under your body recreates the most intense part of a jump: the moment when the skydiver falls before the parachute opens.

An indoor skydiving session makes it possible to make your first movements in freefall in an environment specially designed for flying. Once placed in the tunnel, you learn to stabilize your position and use your arms and legs to control your movements. The instructor stays by your side during the flight to guide you.


An indoor skydiving experience near Montreal

The freefall simulator is located at Centropolis in Laval, on Avenue du Cosmodôme. It is easily accessible from Montreal by crossing the Rivière des Prairies. Residents of Laval, Longueuil, or the North Shore can therefore discover the sensations of skydiving without having to plan a full day around an airfield.


Unlike a skydive from an airplane, there is no canopy phase and no landing. The experience focuses directly on freefall, with the air flow keeping the participant in the tunnel and making it possible to feel the lift created by the speed of the air.


Before entering the wind tunnel, preparation explains the position to adopt and the signs used to communicate during the flight. A flight suit, helmet, and the necessary gear are provided on site.
