Winter BASE around europe for a beginner
Hello!
I'm an experienced skydiver and tandem instructor with a little experience in BASE as well (20 jumps from the Perrine bridge). I'm in Europe for the summer working and I was hoping to find places in Europe you can still jump during the winter, when i'm free again. hopefully they also suit a beginner.
Can anybody point me in the direction best to start my research?

Thank you all!

Make some more jumps this summer and try to get as many subterminal jumps in.
Then come to Lauterbrunnen and do the healthy progrssion, starting with a couple of jumps from Yellow Ocean or/and Nose 1 or 2. Then when you are confortable with your exits and tracks move to La Mousse. When you clear the road from La Mousse without pulling low go to High Nose and do as many jumps you can do from there. Then do a few from Low Ultimate. After that, you will have around 50 jumps in Lauterbrunnen and are a good tracker you jump High Ultimate if the ramp is there. Smile
Have fun, don't die!

Thanks! that was good to know about Lauterbrunnen.
Do you know about other places in Europe that a progression more or less like that is possible?
Any bridges that are legal to jump from?
