Wingsuiting

As a step on from skydiving and BASE jumping, wingsuiting is the latest extreme sport to appeal to adrenaline junkies. If you want to know where to wingsuit then this worldwide wingsuiting travel guide will help you find holidays, courses, experiences and inspirational articles.

A wingsuit enables skydivers and BASE jumpers to glide in a similar way to a hang glider. The only difference is that your body is the frame with material between your outstretched arms and body, plus between your legs, enabling you to glide.

Of course, it is far more dangerous, and much faster then hang gliding, wingsuiters regularly reach speeds of more than 250kph! In face, in 2017 Fraser Corsan, a British wingsuiter, set the world record for the fastest wingsuiting speed of 396.86 km/h (246.60 mph).

Wingsuiting is a relatively new sport and only suited to very experienced skydivers and BASE jumpers. It is also very dangerous, however tandem wingsuit experiences are possible. The first commercial tandem wingsuit experience opened in Interlaken, Switzerland where you fly near infamous peaks such as the Eiger and Jungfrau.

The question of where to wingsuit is a good one as the sport is so new that not many places offer courses. But within the industry you can learn from other experts. So keep an eye on this worldwide wingsuiting travel guide to book a holidays, find courses or experiences and read inspirational wingsuit flying articles.
