Paragliding

Activity Duration (according to the flight minutes contracted by the user) Our equipment is in optimal flying conditions. Before starting the activity, the logistics staff or the pilot holds a brief meeting with the clients on the flight track and provides all necessary recommendations.

Program Duration (hours, days) Depending on weather conditions, a user could spend around 1 hour on the activity, including waiting times for service, registration, briefing, performing the activity (depending on the number of minutes chosen by the user), landing, and saying goodbye. Note that access to the track involves climbing a path after reaching the main road or taking a dirt road to the flight site parking if arriving by private transport.

Maximum Number of Participants The activity is one-on-one, meaning each pilot carries only one passenger per flight.

Activity Variety In the morning, thermal currents allow for gaining altitude, while as the day progresses, these become thermodynamic, combining with the mountain breeze.
