Skydive Häme(Hämeen Laskuvarjourheilijat ry) was founded in 1971, and is currently one of the largest skydiving clubs in Finland. The club has approximately 250 members, about thirty of which are active skydivers. The club makes about 3500 jumps a year out of our own Cessna-206, and we train approximately 100 new jumpers per year. We operate from Räyskälä Airfield in Loppi, where we have our clubhouse and dropzone.

We skydive all through the year(yes, even during the winter), but of course we're mostly active during the summer months, from April through October. Being a non-commercial club, the action is heavily concentrated on the weekends.

Räyskälä Airfield is situated halfway between Forssa and Riihimäki, about 100km from Helsinki. See the map for details.

You must have proof of a valid 3rd party liability insurance that will cover damages up to 1 000 000 € (tandem-jumps excluded). You will not be able to jump without such insurance. Please note that the insurance that comes with the membership of the Finnish Aeronautical Assosiation(SIL) is only valid if you have a permanent address in Finland.

Our current price for a 10.000ft jump ticket is 19 €. A tandem jump, video included, costs 290 €. Before jumping you must read and sign some paperwork. You can download the form here. There is also an older version of the Operations and safety guide available online. Most of the information is still valid, please ask for verbal briefing at the DZ also.

For more information please contact one of our committee-members. Contact information can be found on this page, under "Hallitus" or you can send email to info at skydivehame dot com.
