Paragliding is a rapidly growing sport with a diverse community of participants and the sport has many and varied disciplines. It can be everything from a simple form of recreation, enjoying tranquil relaxing coastal or evening soaring flights for the less adventurous, to the rush and excitement of cross country racing, aerial orienteering and aerobatics for the more adventurous daredevil within us all. It is a truly unique endeavour that turns the sky above and the landscape below into your own personal and free playground.
The sport began in the late 70’s through trial and error in the true spirit of seat of your pants pioneers designing and building their own flying contraptions from modified parachutes. Nowadays, all equipment is professionally manufactured to strict aviation standards and all pilots learn from professional instructors, gaining paragliding licences and fly tested and certified equipment.
“Parapente”, as the sport is known in its European country of origin, is the most affordable type of flying and paragliders are the most portable aircrafts in the world. This amazing sport enables experiences such as relaxing soaring sessions at your local site, hiking up a mountain and flying down, flying thermals and long distance cross country, learning acrobatic maneuvers under high G force, flying a paramotor (powered flight), becoming a tandem pilot and sharing your passion with others… There are endless opportunities for outdoor adventure and travel.
