Offers of Paragliding Lombardy

Do you ever get stuck trying to figure out what to get your partner or closest friend for their birthday? Tandem paragliding in Lombardy makes the ideal present. Lombardy is one of the best Italian locations for this activity due to its natural morphology that includes mountain ranges and hilly areas surrounding numerous lakes and rivers.

Because the Lombardy region is so conducive to paragliding, all types of flights are possible.

What possibilities are there for paragliding?

.- Tandem Flights: Tandem flights are available practically everywhere in the region, and no prior expertise is required. The most important thing is to stay calm during the flight, dress in comfortable clothes, and follow the instructions of the instructors who will be flying alongside you. You fly in pairs while paragliding. The event lasts 20 to 30 minutes and costs on average 110€; it can also be recorded on camera and photographed if desired.

.- Paragliding Course: This paragliding course is for those who like to fly by themselves. It lasts between 4 to 7 days, and you will be able to fly alone by the end of the course. The average cost of an activity like this is about 250€.

What are the best paragliding spots in Lombardy?

- Pavia: Easy tandem flights are the most prevalent in the centre of the Oltrep Pavese, from Voghera, Montalto Paese, and Bressana Bottarone, because the hills from where you take off are of average height.

We recommend Cecima (Ca' del Monte) and Borgo Priolo for a more advanced level. The paragliding schools will offer you the option of taking a basic or advanced paragliding course, both of which entail an exam.

.- Bergamo: A variety of flights are available, including those from Monte Farno (1309 and 1153 meters) and Monte Linzone (1309 and 1153 meters) (1000 metres). It is also possible to take courses in Palazzago that include theoretical and practical instruction to get a license or certificate of fitness for leisure and sports flying.

.- Lecco: A launch from Mount Cornizzolo is recommended if you don't want to travel far from the Lombard capital, which is only 30 minutes from Milan.

.- Sondrio: in Bormio, you can paraglide all year, even when the peaks of Valtellina are covered in snow; in fact, take-offs take place from rather high elevations, such as the Plator take-off, which is around 1900 meters above sea level. So make sure you've layered adequately, perhaps with snow boots.

.- Brescia: Lake Iseo and Lake Garda are popular flying destinations from Brescia. The views you see when you first start flying are notable in this area.

Tandem paragliding in Lombardy is feasible every day of the year, weather permitting. However, it is not possible if it rains or the weather is harsh. Lombardy is a good region with various launching pads because of favourable wind conditions, mild winds, easily accessible mountain take-offs, and simple landings on the plains. The Alps, in reality, attenuate northerly breezes and prevent turbulence.

So, what do you have to lose? In Lombardy, book a tandem flight; this activity is a terrific alternative to conventional city sports!
