Description

Context The paragliding flight over the Castle of Loarre takes place in Aragón, within the Hoya de Huesca region. This 11th-century Romanesque castle, perched on a rocky outcrop at 1,278 meters, is Europe’s best-preserved medieval fortress. The flight departs from the Plandelugas firebreak, descending 450 meters to a landing site in nearby fields, set within a pre-Pyrenean natural landscape where the wind carries scents of pine and thyme. ">The experience After a brief safety briefing with your instructor and fitting of essential gear, you’ll walk a few minutes along a pine-lined trail to the launch point. The assisted takeoff begins a 15- to 20-minute tandem flight, during which you’ll glide silently above the castle and the mountainous terrain. On sunny days, the thermal sensation is pleasant, and the wind barely whispers as you take in the panoramic views from above. ">For whom This activity is suitable for beginners with no prior experience and individuals with light mobility who can walk short distances. It is also appropriate for families with children aged 3 and up, provided there is adult supervision. Not recommended for those with severe fear of heights or medical conditions that may affect flight safety. ">Local context The Castle of Loarre is a key part of Aragón’s cultural and historical heritage. The surrounding area preserves rural traditions such as transhumance, and local instructors share insights into the region’s natural and historical background during the flight, strengthening the connection to the community and its legacy.
