What is paragliding?

Paragliding is recreational flying: you take in the landscape from the air under a wing built for the purpose.

Tandem flights are made with a licensed pilot, so people with no experience can find out what it is like to hang in the air.

It brings together the freedom of flight, a rush and long views over mountains, valleys and open country.

It is one of the easiest ways to experience flying without any technical training beforehand.
