Full description
A unique and privileged viewpoint over one of Sicily's most famous and spectacular seaside resorts, Taormina, which, with its crystal-clear sea and Greco-Roman amphitheatre, will be a true wonder to behold from the heights of the paraglider.
Flying tandem with a professional pilot certified by theAero Club d'Italia, you will carry out the activity in the utmost comfort and safety and all you have to do is enjoy the panorama, the excitement and the wonderful feeling of lightness and freedom.
Paragliding is closely linked to weather conditions. Depending on the currents of the day, the pilot will choose the flight area, which may be Taormina, its surroundings, or other beautiful coastal locations in the province of Messina.
What we will do
We will meet in Messina or near the location chosen for the flight. The day before the activity, after consulting the latest weather report, the pilot will contact us to give us theaddress of the meeting point and to confirm the time (which may vary from the time we have chosen, depending on the weather).
Once the necessary introductions have been made, we will travel to the take-off point on the high ground in the 4x4 vehicles provided by the organisation. We will carry out a briefing on the rules of behaviour for flying in comfort and safety and, having prepared our equipment, we will be ready to fly. Firmly harnessed to the pilot, it will only take a few steps downhill to take flight. Not even time to notice and we will find ourselves in the air lulled by the gentle movement of the thermal updrafts.
The flight will last from a minimum of 20 minutes to a maximum of 40, if the winds are particularly favourable. Thelanding usually coincides with the initial rendezvous point. Otherwise, we will be accompanied by the guides.
The possible flight areas are: Taormina, Letojanni, Milazzo, Gioiosa Guardia, Capo Calavà and Piraino.
Between transfers, preparation and flight, the total duration of the activity ranges from 2 to 3 hours, depending on the chosen flight area.
Who it is aimed at
This activity is at an easy level; no specific experience or skills are required. Anyone in good health and between the ages of 7 and 70 can fly. Pregnant women, people suffering from epilepsy and people with spinal or lower limb prostheses are not allowed to participate.
