How to choose
Flying Bear offers two distinct tandem paragliding options in Bovec ranging from 190 € to 270 €. For maximum airtime, the 1.5h experience at 190 € provides the best value and a comprehensive view of the Soča Valley. If you prefer a shorter but focused route through the Julian Alps, the 24 min flight at 270 € targets specific mountain peaks. Both flights launch from high-altitude points in Slovenia and require an occasionally sporty physical level for the takeoff run. Book your slot at least 48 hours in advance during July and August to secure a morning departure when thermals are most stable.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch is where the adrenaline peaks. You run a few steps into the wind with your pilot and the ground drops away instantly. After that, the flight settles into a long soaring glide over the Soča Valley and the Julian Alps.
Do you need to be comfortable with heights?
A degree of comfort with open altitude helps, but most first-timers report that the sensation is more like floating than falling. You're harnessed to an experienced pilot for the entire duration of the flight.
When is the best time to fly in Bovec?
The season runs from May through September. Late spring and early autumn typically offer stable thermals and clear visibility over the Triglav National Park area. Midsummer can bring afternoon cloud build-up, so morning slots tend to be more reliable.
Is prior experience required?
None. This is a tandem flight: your pilot handles all controls. The occasionally sporty physical level refers to the short run at takeoff and the standing landing, not any technical skill.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear comfortable, close-fitting clothing with no loose scarves or hoods that catch wind, and bring sturdy closed-toe shoes for the takeoff run and landing. Since temperatures drop significantly with altitude, a light windbreaker is worth packing even if it is warm in the valley.
