Paragliding is a unique way to see the landscape. It's a low impact, silent and lightweight form of flight. The ability to take off and land so slowly, makes it possible for us to fly from a wide variety of locations, and share the sky with local birds of prey. The gentle exposure to the air you feel when flying is exhilarating, without being extreme, and makes for an incredibly memorable experience.

What's Included

All Fees and Taxes
All paragliding equipment is of course provided.

What to expect

During the session, we'll start with an introduction to the sport and our team. We'll then usually take a short walk to the take off area, and then fly on the tandem paraglider, with one of our former military paragliding instructors for up to 40 minutes. The flight will usually involve soaring on a mountain ridge like Hay Bluff, Blorenge, Hatterall Ridge or Nantymoel and between the spring and autumn, can also involve thermal flying up to the cloudbase. This could be as high as 5000ft, and we're often joined by Red Kites and other birds of prey whilst soaring. After landing, you are welcome to stay and watch other flights, enjoy the views from the hill, or to leave and continue your day.
