Colibri Skydive

Great dropzone, good people, awesome vibe! Can fully recommend, also for visiting skydivers.

I just came back from Skydive Colibri in Thalmässing and wish I would not have to work today. Being there was much more fun.

First thing to mention are the people. A friendly manifest, lots of friendly jumpers and a helpful rigging loft make Thalmässing a good drop zone. The Porter always goes up to 4000 metres. The packing area is big enough for one Porter load and is located in a hangar, so that you can pack in the shadow all the time.

The landing area is 1/2 mile off the dropzone and is a bit difficult to find on the first time. It three times as long as wide (ca. 200x70m), so it can be a bit difficult under strong wind conditions. Especially when the corn is high on the fields aside. Better go there and watch some landings before you do your first jump.

The shop is well equipped to fulfill all your needs. You can get the cool Bird-Man clothes there.

You get to Thalmässing via the Autobahn A9. From exit Thalmässing you have to drive ten minutes, then you are there. Camping is possible, but there are also some low priced hotels nearby (check the homepage www.freifallen.de). A TV in the lounge allows to banish the boredom on rainy days. The toilets and showers are in average condition and located in a container.

Overall, the lounge and the bathrooms could be a bit more comfortable, all the rest is very good. Will I go back to Thalmässing? Definitely yes!

Skydive Colibri is the most professional organized DZ in southern Germany. Lots of Gear rentals and covered packing space! And a whole lot of nice and friendly people!
