Paragliding in Ragusa is a tandem or solo flight activity launched from the Hyblaean Mountains above the Ionian coast of southeastern Sicily. The flight descends over the Val di Noto, offering aerial views of Ragusa's Baroque architecture and the surrounding farmland. It operates under local wind conditions, with flights typically lasting 15 to 30 minutes depending on thermals.
What to expect
- Tandem flights with a certified pilot, including all safety gear (harness, helmet, and canopy), take off from a launch site at 400 metres above sea level.
- Each flight lasts 15–30 minutes, covering roughly 5–8 kilometres of airspace over the Ragusa plateau and the Irminio River valley.
- You will see the UNESCO-listed old town of Ragusa Ibla, the San Giorgio Cathedral dome, and the terraced olive groves from a bird's-eye perspective.
- Suitable for first-timers and experienced flyers; no prior training is required for tandem, while solo pilots must hold a valid paragliding licence.
- The activity includes a pre-flight briefing on launch technique, landing procedure, and basic canopy control, followed by a gentle landing in a designated field near the town.
