Is paragliding safe?

Absolutely yes! Paragliding is one of the safest air sports when practiced with experienced professionals. Fassafly has over 25 years of experience with thousands of accident-free flights. Our pilots are highly decorated world champions, certified Ae.CI and fly only in optimal weather conditions. Each wing is equipped with an emergency parachute, although our philosophy is: “The parachute must always be there, but it must never be used!” We only use certified, latest-generation equipment that is regularly inspected. Each flight is covered by comprehensive insurance for complete peace of mind.

Does it require experience or special physical preparation?

No, absolutely no experience required! The two-seater paragliding flight is accessible to everyone. No special physical preparation, preliminary courses or specific training is needed. The passenger simply has to follow the pilot’s simple instructions during take-off and landing. The take-off phase requires only a short run of a few meters (about 5-20 meters), similar to a brisk walk. During the flight you don’t have to do anything: you enjoy the view while the pilot manages everything. Landing is even easier than takeoff: just lift your legs slightly and let the pilot do the rest.

💡 Tip: If you’re particularly anxious, let the pilot know! He will be even more careful to put you at ease and can adapt the flight to your needs, making the experience more relaxing.

Who can fly? Are there age or weight limits?

Everyone can fly with Fassafly! Two-seater paragliding is an inclusive activity suitable for:

  • Kids: Even the youngest can fly! From a minimum of 30kg in morning conditions with calm air. For children under 18, parental permission is required. It’s a great experience for the whole family.
  • Adults of all ages: The perfect experience for those who want to experience the thrill of free flight without age limits.
  • Seniors: Many grandparents have this experience with their grandchildren! Age is not a limit if you are in good general health.
  • People with disabilities: Fassafly has great experience flying with people with disabilities. We have specific equipment and trained pilots to make this emotion accessible to everyone. Contact us to better organize your flight.

⚖️ Weight limit: The standard limit is around 110-120 kg, but in optimal weather conditions we can evaluate specific situations. Contact us if you have any doubts: we evaluate each case individually to find the best solution.

I'm afraid of heights / I suffer from dizziness, can I still fly?

Yes, many people with a fear of heights fly without problems! The feeling of paragliding is completely different from what you get on a balcony or staircase. You are sitting comfortably in your harness (like in a flying chair) and your height perception is very different because you have no fixed landmarks nearby. Many of our passengers with vertigo declare that they had no problems during the flight, in fact, they relaxed and enjoyed the experience! The movement is gentle and fluid, without sudden accelerations.

💡 Tip: Inform the pilot of your fear before the flight. It will be able to adapt the experience to your needs, perhaps avoiding special maneuvers and maintaining a more relaxing flight. Many customers thank us because the flight helped them overcome their fear of heights!

What if I have health problems? (heart, pressure, pregnancy, etc.)

Your health is a priority. Paragliding is generally safe even for those with minor health problems, but it is important to let us know in advance. Here are the guidelines:

  • Mild heart problems: If under medical supervision, it is generally possible to fly. We recommend consulting your doctor.
  • High/Low Pressure: When controlled with medications, there are usually no problems. The flight is quiet and does not create cardiovascular stress.
  • Pregnancy: As a precaution we advise against flying during pregnancy, especially after the first trimester.
  • Back/joint problems: The landing is very sweet, but if you have significant problems, let us know to adjust the procedures.
  • Recent operations: It depends on the type and severity. Contact us to evaluate together.

⚕️ Important: If in doubt, contact us before booking! We are always available to discuss specific situations and find solutions. Your safety comes first.

What if the weather is not suitable?

Safety always comes first! We only fly in optimal weather conditions. If the weather is not suitable on the day booked, the flight is postponed at no additional cost or penalty.

🌤️ How does it work:

We rely more on experience than on predictions that are often incorrect or mismatched.

The conditions that make us cancel a flight tend to be too strong wind or precipitation, cloud cover depends a lot on the type of cloud and will be evaluated at the moment.

  • If necessary, we move the flight to a better date
