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.

About this experience

Paragliding in Sicily is a tandem or solo flight activity launched from the slopes of Mount Etna or the Madonie mountains, offering views of the Ionian Sea and volcanic landscapes. Flights operate year-round under suitable wind conditions, with certified pilots guiding participants through thermals and coastal breezes. The activity provides a bird's-eye perspective on Sicily's rugged terrain, from lava fields to olive groves and cliff-lined shores.

What to expect

Tandem flights last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on thermals, with a pre-flight briefing and all equipment (harness, wing, helmet) provided.
Launch sites include Piano Provenzana on Etna's north side (1,800 m) and the Madonie peaks near Castelbuono, each offering distinct views of craters or forested valleys.
You will fly alongside a certified pilot (UNI EN 926-2 rated gear) and can use a GoPro mount to record your flight, with footage available for download after landing.
Suitable for first-timers and experienced flyers; no prior training is required for tandem flights, but solo pilots must hold a valid paragliding licence (IPPI level 3 or equivalent).
Flights operate from morning until early afternoon, when thermal activity peaks; landings occur on designated grassy fields or beaches, with a shuttle returning you to the launch site.
