Tandem paragliding: how it works

Paragliding is the lightest means of flight and consists of a steerable wing attached to the pilot’s harness by funicular beams. Paragliding schools offer tandem flights and provide their best pilots. This way, even those without a flight license can experience the feeling of freedom that only paragliding can provide. After taking a few meters of downhill run-up, the wing opens, allowing the craft to follow the updrafts during the flight’s duration, until the final soft landing.

The best take-off spots in Tuscany

Those who wish to paraglide in Lucca can fly over the Serchio Valley, between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines. Here you take off from the top of Mount Bargiglio, over 700 meters above sea level, and enjoy spectacular views of the wilderness with the mountain ranges, canyons, and streams that characterize the area.

During a paragliding flight in Grosseto you can admire the hills and dense pine forests that stretch to the Tyrrhenian Sea, while in Florence you fly over the vineyards and olive groves of Chianti. Finally, paragliding flights can be made from San Giuliano Terme, a flying area in the province of Pisa where thermal currents can be followed all the way over the Monti Pisani.
