About the flight
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most about flight time, age, weight, clothing and safety.
How long does the flight last, and what does it depend on?
The weather is the main factor in paragliding. Depending on the conditions on the day, a flight lasts about 10-20 minutes.
Is there an age limit?
People of almost any age can fly tandem. Our guests range from 5-year-olds to people in their 80s and 90s.
What are the height and weight limits?
Weight matters for the quality and safety of the flight. We match the combined weight of pilot and passenger carefully, taking the weather into account. The maximum passenger weight is 120 kg, and it can also depend on the passenger’s fitness, so suitability is confirmed with the pilot.
Can you paraglide in summer and in winter?
Yes. In the winter season we keep flying on days when the weather is suitable. Before you plan or book a flight, it is worth checking the weather for that day.
Will I need anything for the flight?
Sunglasses make the flight much more comfortable, especially in summer. You can take a drink with you if you like; just tell your pilot before the flight.
What should I wear?
Comfortable clothes and a pair of trainers that give you a firm footing are all you need.
I have never flown before. Do I need any training?
No. As a tandem passenger you do not need any training. Just before take-off your pilot explains what to do at take-off and landing. The steps are simple: you take a few running steps together with the pilot and you are in the air. After that, all you have to do is enjoy it.
Is there a reserve parachute, and what happens in an emergency?
A reserve parachute is mandatory on every paragliding flight, and every tandem flight carries one rated for two people. It is attached to the spreader bar, the shared connection point that keeps both pilot and passenger safely clipped in. Our pilots are trained in emergency procedures, and if the reserve is ever needed, the pilot deploys it. The livelier parts of a flight are usually flown over the sea, which is chosen as the safe area.
