Paragliding · Benasque
How to choose
Tandem paragliding in the Benasque Valley runs from 80 € to 135 €, with flights ranging from 10 minutes to 2 hours above the Aragonese Pyrenees. Budget options start at 80 € with ValledeBenasque.es for a winter speedtandem session from Cerler ski resort. For a classic intro flight, two tours come in at 90 €, both rated open to everyone with no prior experience required. Step up to 100 € for a departure from either Cerler or Castejón de Sos, the only tour listed as "Occasionally sporty", meaning more active thermals and longer exposure to altitude. The premium 135 € summer option from ValledeBenasque.es covers the same 30-min-to-2h window but launches from the Aramón Cerler ski lift station, giving maximum elevation gain. If you want the longest possible airtime and the highest launch point, go with the 135 € summer flight. If budget is the priority, the 80 € winter speedtandem delivers the same valley views.

Practical info
Equipment
All gear including harness and helmet is provided by the operator. Wear closed-toe shoes and dress in layers, since temperatures drop noticeably at launch altitude in the Pyrenees, even in summer. For winter flights at Cerler, add a warm mid-layer under your jacket.
Getting there
Meeting points vary by tour: the Cerler ski resort area for winter and summer launches, and Calle Ral in Castejón de Sos (roughly 15 km south of Benasque) for the Tandem Team flight. Benasque is accessible by car via the A-139 from Barbastro, the nearest town with regional bus connections.
