About this tour
Launch from Monte Faito's ridge and soar above the Amalfi coastline strapped into a tandem harness with a certified pilot. You'll drift past Positano's cliffs, Capri's silhouette, and Vesuvius on the horizon during a 30-minute flight that lands in Castellammare di Stabia, then returns via cable car. Wind and altitude permitting, this happens most days—weather calls the shots.

- 30-minute airtime over Tyrrhenian Sea and volcanic landscape

What to expect
You'll meet at Sant'Angelo hotel on Monte Faito. After a safety briefing, you'll help launch the glider into the wind before settling into the harness beside your pilot. The flight itself is serene—no engine noise, just thermals and the wind rushing past as you track southward over the coast. You'll see why this site ranks among Europe's premier paragliding spots. Descent is steady and controlled, landing in the valley below. Allow time for weather delays; flights only proceed when conditions are safe.
