Full description
Experience the thrill of a free paragliding flight and admire from above the splendid views of the Apuan Alps and Lake Massaciuccoli, in the province of Lucca.
You will fly 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.
You will fly supported by the ascending wind currents and all you have to do is enjoy the wonderful landscape below and the enormous sense of lightness and freedom that only those who dare to detach themselves from the earth can feel.
What we will do
We will meet, 15 minutes before the indicated time, at the flight area in the province of Lucca, where the instructor will welcome us and give us all the instructions to face the experience safely and comfortably.
Depending on the time of year and the wind conditions, the pilot will choose the best take-off point: it may be among the panoramas of the Apuan Alps Park or near the coast, near Lake Massaciuccoli. Whatever the starting point, the spectacle from above is guaranteed: it will be the Tuscan nature, with its colours and variety, that will fill our eyes.
After donning the equipment and attaching ourselves to the pilot with the harness, it will only take us a few steps downhill to detach ourselves from the ground. In an instant we will be suspended in the air, carried gently by the ascending currents.
During the 15-20 minute flight we will have plenty of time to relax, take photos and admire the landscape from a unique perspective. The experience will end with a soft landing on level ground.
In total, between transfers and preparation, the activity will take about 2 hours.
