Parapendio esperienza - prima volta

Treat yourself to the experience of a tandem paragliding flight with Lake Verbano at your feet. The rendezvous is in Locarno in Switzerland​,​ from where you will reach the cable car to Cardada and then the take-off point at Cimetta​,​ at an altitude of 1672 m. Throughout the flight​,​ you will rely on an expert instructor and enjoy the beauty of this experience​,​ hearing only the rustle of the wind inflating the glider. You will admire the Maggia Valley​,​ the Verzasca Valley and the castles of Bellinzona from above and glide over the delta of the Maggia River and Locarno. To make your flight even more beautiful​,​ you will have the option of requesting a photo shoot. The pilot will immortalise the most exciting moments and will give you photos and videos at the end of the flight. What we will do: We will meet at Camping Delta in Locarno​,​ where our instructor is waiting for us. Together with him we will board the taxi or bus that will take us to the Cardada cable car​,​ from here we will reach our take-off point in Cimetta​,​ in about 45 minutes. We will be at an altitude of 1672 m and about 100 m away from the arrival of the cable car. The instructor will give us all the instructions to prepare for the flight and harness us to him safely. When we are ready​,​ all we have to do is take a few steps downhill to get the momentum going. Once in the air​,​ we will be able to admire the beautiful Ticino Valley at our feet. The Maggia and Verzasca Valleys will open up before us​,​ and on a clear day we will catch a glimpse of the castles of Bellinzona and even the towns of Cannobio and Luino in Italy. We will experience​,​ in complete safety​,​ the freedom an eagle feels when it flies through the skies. During the entire flight​,​ approximately 30 minutes​,​ we will sit as if in a chairlift and enjoy the sensation of soaring through the air thanks to the ascending currents. We will glide gently over the delta of the Maggia river and the beautiful town of Locarno​,​ landing at the same meeting point on the shores of Lake Maggiore. The total duration of the activity will be 2 hours. Who it is aimed at: The activity is of an easy level and suitable for beginners. Children from 6 years of age can also fly​,​ with signed parental consent. Up to the age of 16​,​ the presence of a parent is obligatory. To be allowed to fly paragliders​,​ participants must be within a weight limit of 140 kg. Other requirements are good health and good mobility.
