Paragliding Trip

Experience the unique thrill of soaring through the air!

#

Feel the thrill. Embrace the view. Fly free. Join us for an unforgettable tandem paragliding experience over the stunning landscapes of Monte Grappa. Whether you're a first-timer or a returning flyer, this is your chance to take flight with certified pilots and witness the world from a whole new perspective. Who Can Fly? No athletic skills required! Just be in good health, weigh between 30–100 kg (66-220 Lb), and be ready for a short run at take-off.

WHAT ARE THE PASSENGER REQUIREMENTS? 
No particular physical preparation or athletic ability is needed for a tandem flight—being in good health and able to run a short distance of about 10–15 meters during takeoff is enough. There is no age limit for participation. However, the passenger's weight must be between 30 kg and 100 kg. Minors may only fly if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. For safety reasons, consuming alcohol and/or drugs before the flight is strictly prohibited.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE FLIGHT? 
After a short run, you’ll be airborne without any sensation of free-falling. During the experience, you’ll be comfortably seated in the harness, free to enjoy the breathtaking views around you and savor that unique feeling of freedom that only flight can offer. The pilot will take photos and record videos of the most thrilling moments which you’ll receive at the end of the flight. You’re also welcome to take your own photos or videos, as long as your equipment is securely attached to your body with a strap. However, we do not take responsibility for any loss or damage to personal equipment during take-off, flight, or landing. If at any point you wish to end the flight early, the pilot can land safely and comfortably within minutes.

HOW LONG DOES THE EXPERIENCE LAST? 
The entire flight experience lasts approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. This includes the initial meet-up, drive to the take-off point, preparation and briefing with the pilot, the flight itself, and landing. The scenic flight lasts around 20 minutes, depending on weather conditions.

WHO WILL YOU FLY WITH? 
You’ll fly in complete safety with an experienced pilot certified for tandem paragliding, in compliance with Aero Club d’Italia regulations. All our pilots have extensive experience in free flight and hold specific tandem flight certifications obtained after a rigorous theoretical and practical training program. Your pilot will not only be skilled in-flight control but will also be a friendly guide who puts you at ease, explains each stage of the experience, and accompanies you through this exciting adventure with calm and professionalism. Additionally, the entire activity uses certified equipment that meets European safety standards. Each component—from the wing to the harness, helmet, and accessories—is regularly inspected to ensure maximum safety and comfort. Flying with us means being in expert hands, in a well-organized, professional setting that leaves nothing to chance.
