Frequently Asked Questions

The length of the flight depends on the altitude difference between the take-off and landing points and the weather conditions. The flight usually lasts between 15 and 30 minutes. Many flights are longer, but sometimes shorter. The intense sensations experienced by the passenger often make the flight time irrelevant to the passenger.

The adventure from the first meeting to landing usually lasts about one and a half hours. Sometimes this time can be extended to accommodate weather conditions. This does not depend entirely on the organisation but also on the nature and the weather.

If the weather deteriorates and it is not possible to fly, we will work together to find a new flight date. If we cannot find a new possible date, we will refund the full amount you have paid.

You can pay in cash after the flight, or by card after making an online payment in advance. If you choose to pay online, please bring your payment receipt with you on the day of your flight.

It is possible to fly with friends by prior arrangement. In good conditions, three friends can fly together at the same time.

Many passengers who are afraid of heights are very relaxed on a tandem paraglider flight. It is a psychological moment that an experienced pilot can turn to his advantage. So yes, tandem flying is also suitable for most people who are afraid of heights.

Paragliding starts from the ground on the runway. The paraglider is already open before take-off. It only takes a few steps or a short run and you are in the air. The pilot and passenger never “jump” over a precipice or into the void. As soon as the take-off process starts, the passenger already feels the force pulling him upwards. Once in the air, the passenger can talk to the pilot at all times, who can also calm him down if necessary. Paragliding is not scary and the sensations are completely different from parachuting out of an aeroplane

Every pilot has liability insurance. This means that if the pilot is responsible for any injuries to the passenger, the passenger is covered.

There are no age restrictions. Anyone who can walk normally and even run slowly can fly a tandem paraglider. Children (with the permission of their parents or guardians) and the elderly can fly. The youngest passenger we have ever carried in a tandem paraglider was 4 years old and the oldest was 87 years old.

The minimum recommended passenger weight is 30 kg. There may be variations depending on weather conditions and the weight of the paraglider pilot. If the weight of the passenger is around 30 kg, please let us know in advance. The maximum weight of a passenger is 120 kg. In this case, more favourable weather conditions are needed, so we plan such flights in advance.

It is important that you are in basic physical condition to fly a paraglider. Conditions such as pregnancy, heart disease, functional disability, etc. are not necessarily a barrier to flight. It is definitely necessary to consult and plan such flights in advance.
