Full description
Experience the thrill of a free paragliding flight and admire the world from a new perspective as you let yourself be carried away by the ascending wind currents.
With a two-seater paragliding flight in Brignano Frascata, in the province of Alessandria, on the border between Piedmont and Lombardy, you will experience unique sensations and be pervaded by an immense sense of freedom as you float through the air, flying over the hilly landscape of the Curone Valley.
Flying tandem with a pilot certified by the Aeroclub d'Italia, your experience will take place in maximum comfort and safety: all you have to do is enjoy it to the full!
What we will do
You will meet the pilot in Brignano Frascata, in the province of Alessandria. Together you will go to the take-off point located on the high ground and, first, you will conduct a briefing on how the paraglider works and the rules of behaviour and safety. After that, having prepared your equipment and securely harnessed each other, you will be ready for take-off.
Taking off in a paraglider is a real magic: just a few steps downhill, a gentle jog and, not even the time to realise it, you will find yourself suspended in the air to begin a slow and scenic descent towards the ground, supported by the updrafts.
Depending on the wind, the paragliding flight will last between 10 and 15 minutes, during which you will be comfortably seated to admire the panoramic spectacle of the Val Curone, with its hills and cultivated fields all around. The descent is slow and gradual, ending with a soft landing on a meadow.
Usually, the landing point is close to the initial meeting point, so that after the flight you can easily reach your car and any companions remaining at the starting point. The activity has a total duration of 1 hour.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level and is suitable for everyone. No specific skills or previous experience are required, you just need to be able to do a gentle downhill run. The only requirement is to have a body weight of between 40 and 100 kg.
