We will help you decide where to paraglide for your next paragliding travel experience.
Paragliding is one of the few ways humans can fly without the use of an engine. Paragliders are launched from windward slopes with the pilot attached to a harness below a parafoil.
Using thermals a paraglider can remain in the air for many hours soaring effortlessly with the birds.
