How do I book a tandem?
You can book HERE!
When you book you can choose the number of jumpers, as well as which day and time suit you best.
Feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
How far in advance should I book?
There are no restrictions for this as long as we have open slots in our system. We’ll even accept you as Drop-In if there is availability! We do recommend that you book before you show up so we can guarantee to have space for you.
How do I pay?
You can pay while making the booking online. You can also pay the deposit first and complete the payment here on location with your card or with Vipps. We accept card payment in the reception for Drop-Ins.
I received a Giftcard. How do I book my skydive?
You can create a booking HERE by using the code on the gift card.
What happens the day I skydive?
Your booking time is the time you can show up at the dropzone. Registration is done in reception inside the big hangar.
Remember to check the weather forecast before leaving from home. We cannot jump in rain or strong wind. If you are in doubt, please call us at +47 916 41 801 before leaving.
After you have arrived and are done registering, we will do our best to get you in the air as soon as possible. Usually we try to get you up into the air within an hour of your booked time. However, sometimes the weather might work against us and we will be delayed. This is for your own safety, and that of our instructors. Therefore we recommend to assume that the whole experience can take a couple of hours. If you happen to be short on time we will do our best to accommodate your needs, but we cannot promise anything.
Where do we skydive?
We are located at Østre-Æra Airport just nearby Rena in Åmot municipality. The airfield is at the location to where the tandem lands. Click here for Google Maps.
What should I wear?
We provide everything you will need for your skydive! You will be given a jump suit to wear over your own clothes. We recommend that you bring comfortable clothes and shoes with laces, like sneakers.
May I bring my own camera whilst skydiving?
Because of safety reason, this is not possible. This is of course our first priority! We can therefore not allow tandem students to bring their own cameras. Luckily we have very experienced and professional tandem videographers. They will film your whole skydiving journey. Even high quality photos if you have ordered this addition.
What happens with bad weather?
If the weather happens to work against us, we will stay in contact with you on the day of the booking, or sometimes already the day before. In case your jump is cancelled, we will happily reschedule your booking to another day. Find the day that fits you best and send us an email to info@fallskjerm.no to confirm the updated booking, in case you have not received an email yet to reschedule. Remember to tell us what day you initially were booked.
I have changed my mind. What do I do?
If you contact us within 30 days after making the booking or buying a gift card, you are eligible for a refund excluding the 500NOK deposit. This is because of administration costs. The gift card is not personal, this means that it is also an option to transfer the paid amount to a different customer.
In case your jump cannot go ahead because of the weather conditions, we are able to extend the refund period. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email to tandem@fallskjerm.no
Is there an age limit?
- Minimum age 16 years old. If you are under 18 years old, you will need a written declaration from both parents.
- If you are over 70 years old, you will have to show a certificate from your doctor. You can find it in the next bullet point.
- You should be in good health. Read the self-declaration* further down. This will have to be signed upon arrival. If you are not able to sign it in good conscience, you will need a declaration from your doctor.
- Maximum weight is 95 kg. Maximum height is 2 meters (6’7).
- You must be sober during the skydive.
- If you are giving a tandem as a gift, the person who is skydiving must be informed 48 hrs before take-off. This is in order to provide time to mentally prepare.

What are the facilities like?
We have great indoors and outdoors facilities. This includes a kiosk where you can get a cup of coffee, toilets and plenty of seating areas. We also have an outdoor lounge! From the lounge you have a great view of the landing area. So what is better than to relax in the sun watching your friends land from a skydive?!
How much time will the experience take?
After you have arrived and are done registering, we will do our best to get you in the air. It will most times happen within and hour of your booked time. However, sadly sometimes the weather might work against us and we will be delayed.
We do not want to take you on a skydive in unsafe conditions. Therefore it is nice if you set a side a couple of hours for your experience. If you happen to be short on time we will do our best to accommodate your needs. It’s better if you expect to be here for a couple of hours. If you are in a hurry, we will do our best to facilitate your needs.
