The essentials
Aero Club I Picchi runs a single tandem paragliding flight from Montefalcone nel Sannio, priced at 80 €, open to everyone regardless of experience. The 2h session includes your briefing, flight, and landing, with guides speaking both Italian and English. Book early in the May-to-September window, as mountain thermals peak mid-summer and slots fill fast. If you're flying for the first time, this no-prerequisites format is exactly the entry point you need.
