Paragliding

About Paragliding

Man has always wanted to soar through the air, to spread his wings with his face in the wind, to soar over the mountains, rivers and lakes. It’s our dream to be like a bird, free and unbound. Paragliding is a fun, safe way to experience flight in its simplest form. You simply lie out a wing on a hillside or mountain, inflate it over your head, move forward briskly and soar off.


Once in the air, a pilot is able to maintain and even gain altitude using lifting air currents and thermals. Flights of several hours are common and the record distance traveled by a paraglider is 423 kilometers! Pilots make the launch with paraglider from the ground – from mountain or some small hill. Pilot starts to run and by pulling the canopy the wing is fulfilled with air and than you fly. You can get altitude by using thermals, flying for hours, making cross-country flights for long distances and enjoy the landscape. Landing a paraglider is extremely easy. A pilot simply steers it into the landing area, and glides down for a very gentle return to earth. This silent form of flight is safe, easy and affordable. Paragliding pilots prefer air, sky, mountains, freedom of flight and opportunity to feel like a bird. After all they spread such means of conveyance that doesn’t make harm to the ecology, doesn’t pollute the environment. They just enjoy life.

There are many different levels of paragliding that can be pursued. There are those who enjoy simple top of the hill to bottom of the hill sled rides. Some enjoy soaring in smooth ridge lift. There are those who want to gain thousands of feet of altitude and fly long distances. This is a sport of progressions that can fulfill years of learning - it is truly a life long sport. Paragliding harbors the unique quality of being all at once the most simple, yet most complicated thing you may ever experience.
