Weight: The ideal passenger weight is between 20 kg (45 lbs) and 90 kg (200 lbs). For passengers weighing more than 90 kg (200 lbs), it will be assessed on a case-by-case basis whether a flight is possible. The passenger’s physical fitness, as well as the current weather and wind conditions, will be taken into consideration. The pilot makes the final decision on site. However, the absolute maximum passenger weight is 100 kg (220 lbs), even for passengers in excellent physical condition, and this limit must not be exceeded.

What to bring: Tandem paragliding is an outdoor activity. Therefore, wear clothing that is appropriate for the weather conditions. It is important to wear sturdy shoes. If you don't have any, we can lend you shoes or jackets free of charge. All other necessary materials (helmet, harness, gloves, etc.) will be handed over to you by our pilot.
-
Flight time: The pilot's aim is to achieve the maximum possible flight time. Our "engine" is the updraft, so we are dependent on the weather conditions.
-
The flying area is selected the day before based on the current metrological forecast.

Tandem flights are possible without prior knowledge.
