Full description

Experience a real adventure withHike&Fly over the Madonie Park in northern Sicily. Combine outdoor sports and free paragliding flight for a truly unique experience.

From Castelbuono, in the province of Palermo, you will board a jeep and then walk to the take-off point at an altitude of 1600 metres. The panorama will be incredible: your view will range from the Aeolian Islands to Mount Etna.

Moreover, you will fly in complete safety in the company of a world champion paraglider with 20 years of experience and 2 victories at the Italian championships.

What we will do

The meeting with the pilot is in Castelbuono, in the province of Palermo. After the various introductions, we will move together to the take-off area in the Madonie Park, 1600 metres above sea level. We will drive up the mountain in a jeep and begin a trek of about 1 hour on a route with 400 metres of altitude difference.

Once we reach the take-off point, we will then have an exhaustive briefing on the activity, in which the pilot will give us all the necessary information on the various phases of paragliding and the safety rules to face the experience in the best possible way.

Afterwards, we will put on our equipment and prepare for take-off:firmly harnessed together with the pilot, we will only have to take a few steps to run up and, before we know it, we will be floating in the air!

Buoyed by the ascending wind currents, we will experience a feeling of absolute freedom. Thanks to the altitude reached, we will be able to enjoy a breathtaking panorama: our view will range from the Aeolian Islands to Mount Etna. After about 20 to 25 minutes of flight, we will land gently on the beach near the meeting point.

The total duration of the experience is about 3 hours and includes transfer to the take-off point, trekking, pre-flight briefing and paragliding flight.
