Tandem paragliding in the Beskydy mountains

Touch the Sky!

If you've never tried tandem paragliding before, you're missing out! It's one of the easiest and safest ways to experience the magic of flying. A certified and experienced instructor will be with you the whole time – literally right behind you.

When you arrive, you'll meet your tandem instructor who will give you a quick but thorough briefing and go over the equipment with you. Then you'll head to a proven takeoff site with an elevation of 400 to 500 meters. The instructor will help get you ready for the flight, and once you're prepped, you'll both take a few steps forward and suddenly – you're airborne!

The instructor will control the glider during the entire flight, explaining what’s happening as you go. You get to relax, enjoy the incredible views of the Beskydy, and even take photos or videos of the scenery and yourself. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can ask for a more dynamic flight. Everything ends with a gentle landing on a grassy field.

Sound like fun? Or maybe you've just found the perfect gift for someone who deserves a real treat. Add this experience to your cart, follow the steps, and you can get the voucher today. Wishing you unforgettable moments!

Experience details:

Preparation and briefing: You'll meet your instructor at the designated spot, where you'll receive a basic safety briefing and info about the flight. You'll get fitted with protective gear, including a harness and seat connected to the instructor.

Paraglider setup: The instructor will show you how the paraglider is set up. This includes laying out the wings, checking for proper inflation, securing connections, and adjusting the equipment.

Takeoff: At the launch site, usually on a hill or slope, you'll be strapped into the harness. The instructor will double-check everything before takeoff. Then you'll stand at the edge, ready to go.

Liftoff: With the instructor behind you, you'll start running down the slope. The paraglider catches the wind, and before you know it – you're flying!

Flight: While you're in the air, you’ll sit back and enjoy the epic views over the Beskydy region. The instructor handles everything, so you don’t need to worry – just enjoy the freedom and peace of flight.

Fun maneuvers: If you're up for it and the instructor agrees, you can try some fun maneuvers like turns, climbs, and drops. It’s safe but adds some extra thrill!

Landing: When it's time to come down, the instructor will guide you through the landing process. Landings are usually smooth and easy, and the instructor ensures a gentle touchdown.

Wrap-up: After landing, you’ll be unhooked from the gear and can chat about your flight. Some providers even offer photos or videos, so you can relive the moment anytime.
