Description

Context The acrobatic paragliding flight in Zarautz takes off from elevated sites approximately 120 meters above sea level along the Basque coast. This seaside town offers ideal flying conditions due to the prevailing northeast wind and a dramatic coastal landscape, highlighted by the 'ratón' of Getaria. The crisp air carries the salty scent of the Cantabrian Sea as you glide through the sky.

The Experience After a safety briefing and a moderate walk to the launch point, you'll be fitted with a harness and helmet. A certified pilot manages the paraglider while you perform controlled acrobatic maneuvers, including dynamic turns and agile movements. For 7 to 20 minutes, you'll feel the wind on your face and enjoy panoramic views of the sea and coastline, all while being surrounded by the sound of air rushing past.
