What is the difference between an airplane and a helicopter skydive?

For an airplane skydive, the flight to jump altitude takes about 15–20 minutes. You jump with up to 8 tandems and can choose between a handcam or an additional cameraman for photos and videos (cameraman available on request).

For a helicopter skydive, the ascent takes only 5–10 minutes, with a maximum of 2 tandems per rotation, and only the handcam option is available.

Both options offer breathtaking views. In the helicopter, you are closer to the rock faces, while the airplane provides panoramic views of the Alps and lakes, sometimes even as far as the Matterhorn. More information can be found here.
