You do not need to have any knowledge or experience considering paragliding flights, as an experienced paraglider pilot will be with you from the very start till the landing. He will willingly explain everything happening in the air and show some tricks of piloting. At first, ride-off cars or the rope-way will take you to the take-off area, from where you will fly.

Before the start, the pilot will give all the necessary instructions concerning taking-off and landing, after which the most interesting part will start! The passenger will only have to make a take-off run for 5-10 meters (depends on the wind strength) to start the flight, after which all your fears and doubts will remain on the ground and you will enjoy the feeling of weightlessness. Depending on weather conditions and the agreement of the pilot, you can take the control and steer the glider to experience the ease and joy of the flight.
