Frequently asked questions
How intense is the flight at La Muela?
Tandem paragliding puts you airborne in a harness with a certified pilot controlling the glider. You feel the full sensation of free flight, including thermal lifts and turns, but you have no controls to manage. The intensity depends on wind conditions on the day.
Do I need any experience to fly?
No. The physical level is listed as everybody welcome, which means no prior paragliding or athletic background is needed. The pilot handles everything from launch to landing.
What is the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch is typically the sharpest moment: you run a few steps and the ground disappears beneath you in seconds. After that, the flight levels into a sustained glide with views over the Castilian landscape.
Is 85 € the total price, or are there extras?
According to the available data, 85 € is the listed price for the tandem flight. Confirm directly with Parapente Factory whether any add-ons such as photos or video are included or charged separately.
