Tandem paragliding is a special form of paragliding where two people fly together using a larger, specially designed paraglider. Here’s how it works and why it’s popular.
Why Try Tandem Paragliding?
- Perfect introduction: It’s the easiest way to experience paragliding for the first time.
- Safe and guided: You’re in the hands of a professional, so you can relax and enjoy the adventure.
- Accessible: Suitable for most ages and fitness levels. Many outdoor tourism providers offer tandem flights at scenic locations.
What is Tandem Paragliding?
- Two-person flight: One person is the pilot (an experienced, licensed instructor), and the other is the passenger.
- Special equipment: The tandem wing is bigger and designed to safely carry the weight of two people. The harnesses are comfortable and secure.
- No experience needed: Passengers don’t need any prior training. The pilot controls the flight, while the passenger enjoys the views and the sensation of flying.
What to Expect
- Short briefing: Before takeoff, the pilot explains the basics and safety instructions.
- Takeoff: You’ll run a few steps together from a gentle slope or mountain, and the wing lifts you smoothly into the air.
- Flight: Enjoy stunning views, gentle gliding, and sometimes even some fun turns or thermals.
- Landing: The pilot handles the landing, and you touch down gently.
Tandem paragliding is the best way to discover the magic of flight—no skills required, just a sense of adventure!
