Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the ridge above Ronda is the sharpest spike of adrenaline: you run a few steps, the wing fills, and the ground drops away in seconds. After that, the thermal soaring above the Serrania de Ronda plateau takes over.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Most first-timers report that the sensation feels more like floating than falling. You're strapped in tandem with a certified pilot for the full 24 min to 1h flight, so your only job is to enjoy the view over the Tajo de Ronda gorge.
What's the best time of year to fly over Ronda?
The season runs from May through September. Late spring and early autumn offer the most stable thermals and cleaner visibility over the mountains and the coastline toward Marbella.
Can complete beginners do this?
Yes. The physicalLevel is rated "Occasionally sporty", which means a short running takeoff and basic body positioning on landing. No paragliding experience is needed for a tandem flight with Volar Andalucia.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support for the running takeoff, and bring a light windproof layer since temperatures at altitude drop noticeably even in summer. The session lasts up to 1h, so sunglasses and sunscreen are worth having.
