Do I need any experience to go paragliding?

No experience is needed. Tandem paragliding means you fly with a professional pilot who controls the entire flight. You just sit back and enjoy the view.

How long does a paragliding flight last?

Tandem flights typically last 20–30 minutes, depending on weather conditions and thermal activity. The whole experience including briefing and transport takes about 2–3 hours.
