Description

Context The Lumbier Basin in Navarra is a pre-Pyrenean enclave where the Irati and Salazar rivers have carved deep canyons and gorges, creating a unique natural landscape perfect for paragliding. Taking off from the Lumbier airfield, situated at around 500 meters above sea level, the flight ascends nearly 1 kilometer to glide over this protected landscape, where the wind carries the scent of thyme and pine.

The experience After a safety briefing and fitting into your harness and helmet, you’ll launch in tandem with an experienced instructor. The short run-off at takeoff is followed immediately by the lightness of flight as you rise above geological formations and the Yesa reservoir. For 20 to 30 minutes, or up to one hour on extended flights, silence and the soft whisper of wind accompany the deep sense of freedom under the wings.

For whom This activity is accessible to people with no prior experience, families with children from age 5, and individuals with reduced mobility, thanks to equipment adaptations and continuous support from the instructor. Not recommended for those with severe vertigo or medical conditions that prevent sitting or holding on securely.

Local context Lumbier is a village with a deep connection to nature and active tourism. The local community actively supports environmental conservation and promotes activities that respect the natural landscape, including paragliding, which also enhances the area’s raptor birdwatching opportunities.
