Your guide

Massimiliano V.

I have always been in love with flying. Sometimes I look up at the sky and think that I would like to be in a specific spot, maybe next to a cloud and look down or fly between them.

Full description

Try a tandem paragliding flight, a unique and unforgettable experience accompanied by an expert pilot who will fly you over enchanting landscapes in total relaxation, giving you an absolute sense of freedom.

Have you already experienced the thrill of paragliding and are looking for something more? No problem, we will perform adrenalin-pumping evolutions and you will try to pilot the paraglider yourself!

We will be flying at Valcava, a mountain village in the municipality of Torre de' Busi, located at an altitude of 1,200 metres on the ridge between Mount Linzone and Mount Tesoro, an exceptional vantage point over the Po Valley that, on clear days, offers a view as far as the Apennines.

We will provide everything you need for the flight; all you need to do is wear sunglasses, sneakers and comfortable clothing appropriate to the season.

What we will do

The appointment is 15 minutes before the selected time at the meeting point in Caprino Bergamasco (BG). Here you will meet the pilots together with whom you will reach the take-off point. After preparing the equipment for the flight we will have a briefing on safe take-off and landing techniques.

The flight lasts on average 10-15 minutes (max. 20). It is usually divided into three phases: in the first phase the passenger simply becomes familiar with the new dimension, in the second phase he/she can try to fly (if wind conditions permit) and in the third phase, if he/she wants, something more dynamic can be done.

During the flight it is possible, for those who wish, to carry out a photo and video service at a cost of €20 (purchasable on site). The service consists of at least 20 photographs and 3 videos taken with a GoPro-type camera at various stages of the flight, before take-off and after landing.

Who it is aimed at

The tandem paragliding flight is suitable for everyone aged 6 and over. In the case of children under 18, one of the parents must be present and sign the consent form.

Flying in a tandemparaglider is an activity that requires no previous experience. The only restriction is on weight: you must not normally weigh more than 100 kg and be able to run at least 10 metres. If you weigh more than 90 kg, you must notify us after booking.

Other information

Important! In order to take advantage of the experience, it is necessary to contact the pilot one week before the event at the contact details indicated in the booking confirmation e-mail. The feasibility of the activity will be reconfirmed the day before the date of the event depending on weather conditions at the pilot's discretion.

To reach the take-off point (approx. 30 minutes on mountain roads from the meeting point) you can use your own car provided that there is room for the pilot, equipment and that an escort comes with you to take the car back to the landing point. Alternatively, you can take a shuttle at a cost of €30 to be shared if there are more than one participants.

Want to share the flight with a special person? A simultaneous flight option is available for a maximum of 2 people; once you have made your booking, contact the organiser at the contact details given in your booking confirmation e-mail to inform them of your wish to take part in a simultaneous flight. In this case, the date of the experience will depend on the availability of 2 pilots.
