Full description
Fly in a paraglider in the Swiss skies for 30 exciting minutes, taking off from Monte Lema at an altitude of 1600 m. After the briefing with the pilot, you will take to the air securely harnessed to him and admire a magnificent landscape in total safety.
You will fly over Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano and head towards Monte Generoso, one of the most imposing peaks of the Lugano Pre-Alps. Are you ready to live this dream?
What we will do
We will meet the instructor at the Monte Lema cable car, who will take us to the take-off point, located 50 m from the cable car exit itself, in 10-12 minutes.
The launch will take place from the summit of Monte Lema at a height of about 1600 m. This peak dominates the Ticino valley and is a favourite destination for sportsmen and tourists. The instructor will hold a briefing during which he will provide us with all the little information we need to experience the flight in peace. We will also be able to count on his help with the harnessing and positioning on the seat.
Once we are ready, we will make a run for the launch and soar into the air. We will thus live the heart-stopping experience of moving through the skies thanks to the updrafts.
A truly exceptional mountain landscape will unfold below us. We will fly over Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano, pointing towards the pre-alpine peak of Monte Generoso with its 1704 m height, and will even be able to see the Po Valley in the distance. We will remain in the air for 30 minutes.
At the end of the flight we will glide gently back to our meeting point. The total duration of the activity will be about one hour.
