About this tour

Strap in for a half-day paragliding flight across Italian mountains where thermals and altitude gains drive extended 30–40 minute sorties. You'll learn weather patterns pre-flight, then either ride as passenger or take the controls yourself. The pilot can dial in acrobatic moves up to 4G intensity—you set the pace. All gear, photography, and insurance included.

Highlights

  • 30–40 minute flights hunting mountain thermals like raptors
  • Pilot the glider yourself or stay passenger throughout
  • Acrobatic manoeuvres calibrated to your comfort level, up to 4G
  • Weather briefing before takeoff, pre-flight safety instruction
  • Professional photos and video footage of your flight included
  • Full gear provision: harness, helmet, glider, insurance

What to expect

You'll begin with a meteorological lesson and equipment briefing covering takeoff and landing. Once airborne, expect sustained flight as your pilot hunts thermals—those invisible columns of rising air that keep paragliders aloft. If you opt to handle the controls, instruction happens mid-flight. Acrobatic intensity is yours to request; the pilot responds to your cues. The extended duration means real mountain-crossing distance and genuine altitude work, quite different from quick coastal hops. Ground to air to ground in one focused session.

Good to know
