How does your tandem paragliding flight work?
1. Preparation for the flight
We meet at the agreed time and location. For a tandem flight, you practically don’t need anything, as we provide everything. You only need to ensure appropriate footwear and clothing, which depends on the season. Keep in mind that at higher altitudes, temperatures during the flight can be 10–15 degrees Celsius lower. For footwear, we recommend ankle-supporting shoes, such as hiking boots. Sunglasses can also be helpful. Of course, we are happy to answer all your questions.
2. Drive to the takeoff site and preparation
We take off from a hill or slope, so we first drive to the takeoff site. Once we arrive, we begin preparing the equipment. The paraglider is laid out on the ground, and the lines are untangled. Then we put on the harness and fasten the straps. The tandem pilot takes care of all this for you. Afterward, we attach to the paraglider. The passenger is secured in front of the pilot.
3. Takeoff and flight
Takeoff is relatively simple. The pilot explains the exact instructions on how to take off before your paragliding flight. Essentially, we take a few steps down the slope, and we’re airborne. Once safely in the air, you settle comfortably in the harness and enjoy the spectacular views and the sensation of flying. In the air, we search for thermal lifts to gain or maintain altitude. Otherwise, we gradually glide toward the ground. The paraglider is controlled using steering lines. If the weather conditions and altitude allow, the pilot can let you steer the paraglider and make a few turns. The flight duration depends on your chosen package, but for longer flights, we rely largely on weather conditions or thermals. We always strive to ensure a minimum time in the air, and if conditions permit, we can extend the flight upon the passenger's request.
4. Landing
We land at a predetermined location, which is an official landing area. Friends or family can meet you there. Enriched with various experiences, you’ll leave with an EXTRAORDINARY MEMORY. After landing, you receive a diploma and optionally a video or photos of your flight, serving as lasting reminders of this wonderful event. Everyone will recognize that you’ve become a true paraglider.
