The flight reaches altitudes of approximately 300 meters (1,000 feet), providing an uncommon aerial perspective across this region.

For 20 to 40 minutes, you’ll fly tandem, feeling the soft wind on your skin and hearing the quiet hum of the paraglider motor as you glide over rolling fields and small villages. Constant communication via radio ensures a safe, personalized flight experience.

It is not recommended for people with acrophobia, limited mobility that could affect takeoff, or medical conditions that may prevent participation.
