How to get to the Girona Wind Tunnel?

You'll find well-kept facilities that can be easily accessed by different means of transportation such as by train from Figueres, by plane to Barcelona or Girona and, of course, by car. There is even a pick-up service from these two airports or from the train station mentioned above.

How does indoor skydiving work?

The workings of the aerodynamic or wind tunnel is easy to understand. It is surrounded by a series of gratings through which continuous air is propelled with sufficient force to allow the person inside to float, and can reach up to 270 km/h (155 mph). To do this, the space is fitted with sensors that provide the necessary information needed to calculate both lift and drag.

You can choose from a wide variety of options to try out the safe way of flying, so that you can choose the one that suits you best on each occasion and always with the utmost safety.
