The offer
Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off the ridge, and within seconds your feet leave the ground completely. The initial climb on the thermal is the sharpest adrenaline spike of the session.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A healthy respect for altitude helps, but fear of heights rarely prevents enjoyment once you're airborne. The sensation is closer to floating than falling, which surprises most first-timers.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total session is 1.5h, which includes briefing, gearing up and the flight itself. Actual airtime varies with conditions, but your pilot will work the thermals to maximize it.
What's the rating on this experience?
The operator holds a 5/5 based on 16 verified reviews, making it one of the top-rated paragliding offers near Valencia.
