Frequently asked questions
Do I need previous paragliding experience?
No. Tandem flights are designed for beginners and no previous experience is required.
Is paragliding suitable for children?
Children can fly from approximately 20 kg, depending on their motivation, weight and weather conditions. Contact us before booking so that we can recommend the most suitable flight.
Will I feel vertigo?
Vertigo is generally associated with standing at a fixed height while still connected to the ground. This sensation is usually absent during a paragliding flight.
How much time should I allow?
Allow approximately one to one and a half hours for the full activity, depending on the selected flight, access to the take-off site and conditions.
What should I wear?
Wear comfortable sports clothing, a warm or windproof jacket and closed shoes. In winter, bring gloves and ski goggles or sunglasses.
What happens if the weather is unsuitable?
Paragliding is weather-dependent. When the conditions are not safe or suitable, your flight is postponed or cancelled.
Can I bring a camera or telephone?
Speak to your instructor before take-off. Loose objects must be properly secured and must never interfere with the equipment or flight safety.
How do I book?
Use the booking page and send your preferred dates, passenger name, weight and selected flight. We will contact you to confirm availability and conditions.
