Dropzone Denmark

Denmark's most recommended skydiving center

About Dropzone Denmark

Dropzone Denmark opened on 1 May 2015 and has since developed faster than we ever dared to dream. Today, we are Denmark's only professional parachute centre and a central meeting point for the sport of skydiving, located at Herning Airport in the heart of Jutland.

We account for a large part of the activity in Danish skydiving and have helped elevate the standard across safety, training, and international ambitions. Each year, jumpers from more than 30 nationalities visit us, and we consistently have some of the world's most skilled instructors associated with us. During the peak season, our team consists of around 40 passionate employees working closely together to provide both new and experienced jumpers with the best possible experience.

Dropzone Denmark is the country's largest skydiving school for solo students, and our environment extends far beyond Denmark's borders with jumps and projects in some of the world's most extreme locations, including Mount Everest and Antarctica. For us, skydiving is not just about the jump – but about community, development, and world-class adventure.

Dropzone Denmark's core values

At Dropzone Denmark, our foundation is to make skydiving accessible to as many as possible – always with safety as our highest priority. At the same time, we work purposefully to develop the sport and raise the level in both Denmark and the rest of Europe.

Our values can be broadly summarised into three central focus areas:

Safety first – our highest priority

Safety is always the most important thing for us at Dropzone Denmark. We are committed to creating a secure environment for experienced skydivers, tandem jumpers, and solo students, so you can always feel that you are in safe hands when you visit our parachuting centre.

Our instructors follow the highest training and safety standards, and we use modern equipment that is continuously checked and maintained by experts in parachuting gear. This way, we ensure that all jumps take place under the best possible conditions – with safety at the forefront.

World-class skydiving

Dropzone Denmark is Denmark's leading skydiving centre and training facility for both new and experienced skydivers. With some of the world's most skilled instructors and coaches, our goal is to create the best conditions for development, learning, and progression – regardless of experience, age, or background.

At the same time, we are actively working to make Dropzone Denmark an international hotspot for the sport of skydiving. We regularly organise camps, events, and competitions that attract skydivers from all over Denmark as well as the rest of the world.

Professional skydiving centre with a focus on service

Dropzone Denmark is Denmark's only professional and most recommended skydiving centre. We prioritise service and accessibility (almost) as highly as safety. You will encounter a warm and family-like atmosphere at the drop zone, but you do not need membership or volunteer obligations to jump with us. We ensure that your stay is as easy, safe, and professional as possible – from your first visit to your next jump.
