Description

Context The tandem paragliding flight in the Benasque Valley takes place in the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees, a mountainous region ranging from 1,200 to 3,200 meters in elevation. This protected natural valley offers ideal thermal conditions for safe, extended flights with a total altitude difference of about 1,400 meters. The crisp mountain air and the profound silence of flight create a unique atmosphere for fully immersing in the landscape.

The Experience You begin with a safety briefing and preparation session with a licensed pilot. After transferring to the Pico Gallinero at 1,200 meters, you’ll secure your harness and launch into the sky in tandem. For approximately 30 minutes, you’ll glide above the valley, observing mountain peaks, rivers, and small alpine villages from above, as wind gently brushes your face and only the soft rustle of the paraglider breaks the silence. The landing is smooth and accessible, completing a controlled experience of weightlessness.

For Whom This activity is suitable for individuals with no prior experience and good mobility, including families with children from age 3. It is not recommended for those with severe vertigo or physical limitations that prevent walking to the launch point or sitting comfortably during the flight.

Local Context The Benasque Valley preserves traditional mountain and shepherding customs. Local pilots, who know the region’s weather patterns and terrain intimately, ensure every flight is safe and tailored to each passenger’s needs, integrating the experience with respect for the natural and cultural environment of the Pyrenees.
