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.
Paragliding is carried out across the world but is particularly popular in hilly or mountainous places with the correct prevailing wind. If you wish to give paragliding a try you can complete a tandem flight with an experienced person to find out if you like it.
