Tandem paragliding
A tandem flight strapped to a certified pilot — a short uphill drive to the launch, then 15 to 30 minutes in the air depending on the wind, landing down in the valley.

You fly with a licensed tandem pilot who handles the wing the whole way; your job is to run a few steps at take-off and enjoy the rest. Airtime depends entirely on the wind on the day — we quote a range, never a promise. Flights are weather-dependent and can be moved or refunded if the site is not flyable.

Questions people ask
How long is the flight?
Between 15 and 30 minutes of airtime, decided by the wind on the day. We tell you the likely window at the meeting point, not before.
What is the weight limit?
Roughly 25 kg to 100 kg. Outside that range the wing and harness cannot be set up safely, and the pilot's decision at the site is final.
What if the weather is bad?
Paragliding only runs in a safe wind window. If the site is not flyable on your slot we move you to another time or refund the flight in full.
