Paragliding Bled

Paragliding is as safe as driving. All you have to do is follow the guidelines.

Sure, anyone in reasonable physical condition can go paragliding. However, consulting your doctor for any serious medical conditions is of course highly advisable.

10 – 25 minutes, depending on the weather conditions, which includes wind strength and direction and of course on how you react to the experience. The aim is always to have fun and enjoy the ride. If the weather doesn’t hold, we can go for another try later, as long as you’re feeling up to it.

The safe minimum weight is 25 kg and the maximum limit is 120 kg (265 lbs). In terms of height, you need to be able to fit comfortably into the harness – approx.130 cm (4 ft 5 in). Paragliding is not suitable for pregnant women.

No, fear of heights is very common and the anxious feeling usually vanishes within seconds of being airborne. Don’t worry, we won’t be jumping off ledges or leaping off cliffs. The experience of paragliding is in fact quite similar to looking out of an airplane window. Except better, because there’s no window. We’ll be more than glad to answer any questions you might have.

You will have to run for approx. 20 metres during take-off and landing, but that’s pretty much it. If you can handle that, the rest of the experience involves being strapped in a harness and enjoying yourself to the max.

If they meet the weight requirements and are in reasonable shape, kids are more than welcome to fly. However, a parent or a guardian must be present, participate in the briefing, and must confirm that all safety instructions and regulations have been given and were understood. All underaged (under 18) participants have to present a written consent form their parents or legal guardian.
