Your guide
An Aeci instructor since 1994, I am one of the few in Italy to be qualified to teach Siv and Acro manoeuvres with paragliders. I live for my no-limit passions but with brains and preparation. I rejoice to see the happiness in the eyes of my passengers who never imagine they will have similar experiences in complete safety.

Full description
Do you like strong emotions and are you someone who is not satisfied with a scenic flight but is looking for the ultimate adrenaline rush? An acrobatic flight in a tandem paraglider will satisfy your thirst for breathtaking sensations!
Get ready to take off from an altitude of 800 m with a professional pilot and perform evolutions and spins in the skies of the Serchio Valley in Tuscany, surrounded by a stunning natural landscape.
After this heart-stopping experience, when you put your feet back on the ground, you will be sure that nothing is impossible and you will look forward to soaring through the air again!
What we will do
You will meet the pilot in Borgo a Mozzano, in the province of Lucca, and together you will go to the take-off point on Monte Bargiglio, at an altitude of about 800 metres.
Before the flight, you will have a detailed briefing on the operating principles of the paraglider and the rules of behaviour and safety. Then, securely harnessed, it will be time to take a running start and take off into the flow of the updrafts.
Aerobatic paragliding differs from scenic flying in that the descent speed is faster and the manoeuvres much more dynamic. The pilot will perform vaults, spins and turns for about 10 minutes of pure adrenaline.
All this will have as its backdrop one of Tuscany's most evocative landscapes, the Serchio Valley, with its canyons, torrents, and unspoilt nature reigning supreme!
In total, between travel, preparation and flight, the activity will last about 1 hour.
