What is and how does tandem paragliding work

A paraglider is a means of free flight consisting of a rectangular-shaped steerable glider made of lightweight fabric to which the pilot‘s seat (or harness) is attached. Using this instrument, paragliders take off gently from the top of a slope or steep mountain faces to descend to the valley.
How does tandem flying work? It is very simple: once the take-off point is reached, equipment is prepared. Firmly harnessed with the pilot, it only takes a few meters of downhill run-up to allow the paraglider to open and take off. At that point, updrafts will allow the vehicle to move forward until landing.

The main take-off points on Lake Garda

Among the main paragliding locations on Lake Garda‘s eastern shore, there are the quaint villages of Toscolano Maderno and Gardone Riviera, which offer Mount Pizzocolo as their primary and most famous takeoff point in the Brescian Pre-Alps. Flying from here it is possible to fly over the lake to admire its western slope and much of the Po Valley from above.
On the border between Lombardy and Trentino, there are other areas suitable for tandem paragliding that overlook the Ledro Valley where you can enjoy incredible views of pastures, rock faces, and the characteristic Ledro Lake.
Another important takeoff point is on the western shore of Lake Garda where Mount Baldo, a mountain massif in the Gardesane Pre-Alps, can be reached starting from the small town of Malcesine.

Wish fulfilled

I had wanted to try this wonderful experience for years, finally I can say that I did it! And it far exceeded my expectations: beyond the technical preparation of the staff, which is obviously excellent, I want to compliment them on the human aspect. It feels like being among friends and the informality allows you to feel at ease, facing any fears with more confidence. I recommend the experience and I recommend Alan's team.
