Full description
Admire from above a breathtaking landscape over Tropea and the Calabrian Tyrrhenian coastline while flying aboard a tandem paraglider with an experienced pilot.
Get ready for amagical and sensational experience: you will fly with the wind and feel as free and light as a seagull soaring through the skies above the blue expanse of the sea.
In tandem with a professional, you will carry out the activity in total safety. All you have to do is sit comfortably and enjoy the flight all the way!
What we will do
You will meet the pilot in Tropea (VV ) or in one of the neighbouring locations, such as Capo Vaticano or Zambrone, depending on the take-off point selected by the pilot according to the wind conditions of the day.
You will begin with an introductory briefing in which the pilot will thoroughly explain the principles of paragliding and provide you with all behaviour and safety instructions. You will then be securely harnessed and ready to take flight.
From the flight platform located at the take-off point, all it will take is a few running steps and in no time you will find yourself suspended in the air with the support of the updrafts.
The duration of the flight varies according to the intensity of the wind and can last up to a maximum of 30 minutes, during which all you have to do is sit comfortably and enjoy the magnificent view over the turquoise sea of Tropea.
The experience will end with a gentle landing and return to the starting point. In total, the activity will last about 1 hour.
Who it is aimed at
Tandem paragliding does not require any specific skills or experience. It can be carried out by anyone in good physical condition and weighing between 30 and 130 kg, generally from the age of 10. Participants under the age of 18 must necessarily be accompanied on site by an adult who must sign a release form.
Pregnant women may not fly. For disabled persons, conditions must be assessed on a case-by-case basis (contact us privately for more information).
Other information
This activity can be carried out all year round, weather permitting.
Paragliding is an activity closely linked to weather and wind conditions. The day before the planned date, after carefully evaluating the forecasts, the pilot will send you a confirmation on the feasibility of the flight, also informing you of therendezvous address.
Transport to take-off or recovery on landing - depending on the point of flight - will be organised as required with the pilot's or participants' means.
The activity takes place in tourist locations of great natural beauty. Non-flying companions are welcome at the take-off point, where they can enjoy some relaxation and watch the flight.
