Aerodium

The vertical wind tunnel is a specific turbine making strong wind. Lying down on this vertical wind flow, you can touch the sky with your hands, perform various acrobatic movements, and enjoy before inexperienced emotions. 




The vertical wind tunnel was designed as a training simulator for military parachutists and astronauts, but for the last few years it has also began to be used as entertainment. The first vertical wind tunnel meant for entertainment was invented in Canada in 1979, but couple of years ago similar vertical wind tunnel was made in Latvia. "Aerodium" is the first vertical wind tunnel in the Eastern Europe. It is located just before Sigulda. 




It has become a popular way of entertainment providing incredible emotions.

If you have never done this, don't be scared, the coaches (instructors) of "Aerodium" are professionals. It is proved by the fact that "Aerodium" team has been invited to participate in the closing ceremony in Torino Winter Olympics in 2006.
