    It doesn't look cool, but what the heck... it's a helmet. Good for you if you want something cheap and abusable: you can drill holes in it for camera mounts without any loss of efficiency. You can spend the rest of the money in tickets.

    Absolutely the most beautiful DZ I've ever seen. Mountains on one side... Lake on the other... in my last jump I just went down flat in order to enjoy the view. Very friendly people, despite the language barriers that we had (I don't speak german). From the DZ manager, to the pilot, to the JM, up to the "normal skydivers". All of them nice and friendly. They have a good pace of take-offs. I never had to wait more than 20 minutes before being placed into the aircraft. Landing area is very large and clear of obstacles, with the exception of a "forbitten area" not very large. Too bad there is not a bar in there and if you get hungry/thirsty you need to rely on the dispenser machines. Also the weather can be an issue: I've been "blessed" by a weekend of perfect weather, but the week before and the one after, almost every day there have been some showers. One-day skydivers beware: on Sunday, from 12:30 up to 16:00 the DZ is closed, so maybe you'll want to go there on Saturday. On a final comment: it's really a must-go DZ.
