Tandem paragliding flight over Mount Cucco

Experience the thrill of a paraglider flight, admire the green heart of Italy from above and feel as free as a hawk soaring over theUmbrian Apennines.

You will fly over the Monte Cucco Regional Park, famous for its beech forests, caves and canyons, aprotected natural area of great charm and rich in biodiversity.

Flying tandem with an expert pilot, you will not have to worry about anything except enjoying the experience in all its phases: the take-off, the descent supported by the ascending currents and the soft landing.

What we will do

We will meet in Sigillo (PG), one of the four municipalities within the Monte Cucco Regional Park. Together with the instructor, we will move by shuttle to the take-off point on the high ground and hold a preparation briefing.

The instructor will explain the operating principles of the paraglider and give us all the instructions for flying in comfort and safety. After that, we will put on theharness and prepare for take-off.

Taking off on aparaglider is a kind of magic, all it takes is a gentle jog downhill and in no time at all we are suspended in the air! At that point, our flight will be entrusted to the ascending wind currents, which will support and slow the paraglider's descent to a soft landing.

The duration of the flight varies from 15 to 30 minutes depending on the winds of the day. Flying over Monte Cucco means being immersed in a sumptuous and varied panorama, where the view sweeps from the Adriatic coast to Lake Trasimeno, from the Sibillini Mountains to the Chiascio torrent valley. It is one of the most frequented locations for flying enthusiasts, and also hosts national and international competitions.

Between transfers, briefings, preparation and flight, the total duration of the activity is approximately two hours.
