Full description

Experience the thrill of a free paragliding flight in one of Italy's best-loved areas for enthusiasts and professionals in the discipline, theApennines near Modena, with its panoramas characterised by mountains, woods and characteristic villages.

You will fly in tandem with pilots from the World Cup circuit, who have made their passion for flying a profession and provide patents, insurance, and all their expertise.

Paragliding exploits the ascending wind currents, which support the craft and gradually accompany its descent to a soft landing. Everything else will be pure wonder!

What we will do

The experience will take place in the province of Modena, with two possible flying areas, Sestola and Monfestino, about 40 km apart. Depending on the time of year and weather and wind conditions, the pilot will choose one of the two take-off points, informing you in advance of the precise address of the meeting place.

If you fly to Sestola, you will admire the slopes of the superb Mount Cimone from above in a mountain scenery of prime beauty. This area, thanks to its favourable aerological conditions and wide take-off area, is home to international paragliding competitions. The location of Monfestino Serramazzoni, on the other hand, is characteristic because one flies over a medieval village dominated by an imposing castle and the surrounding green hills.

Once you and your pilot arrive at the take-off point, you will be given all the instructions and rules of behaviour to fly in comfort and safety. Having prepared yourequipment and securely harnessed yourself onto the tandem paraglider, it will only take a few steps downhill to be airborne. The take-off is really magic, you won't even realise you've lifted your feet off the ground!

The flight takes 15 to 20 minutes depending on wind conditions and ends with a soft landing on level ground. Taking into account preparation and travel time to/from the meeting point, the activity can last a total of 2 hours.
