TANDEM PARAGLIDING FLIGHT

In Livigno, you can fly in a tandem paraglider with a professional pilot and share the sky with Vega, a Harris hawk accustomed to free flight. She is not trained to perform and does not follow commands like a performing animal: she flies because it is her element. And that is precisely what makes the experience so rare and unforgettable.

For about 10-15 minutes, you will fly over the Livigno ski area and the snow-covered Alps, while the bird of prey takes advantage of the same currents and flies alongside you. It's a feeling that's hard to explain until you experience it for yourself.

The experience takes place from November to May, depending on the opening of the ski lifts.

Paragliding is an activity that is strictly dependent on weather and wind conditions: the pilot will contact you 1 day before the date of the experience to confirm the feasibility of the flight at his discretion.

The experience is individual; simultaneous flights are not available.

The meeting point is easily accessible by public transport.

An additional photo and video service is available: contact the pilot at the contact details provided in the booking confirmation email for more information. If you have your own photo and/or video equipment, you may use it in flight only if the pilot deems it suitable.

Where

The meeting point is at 12:00 noon in Livigno (SO), and you should arrive about 10 minutes early. You will be welcomed by the professional pilot who will accompany you on this truly extraordinary experience.

Together with him, you will reach the take-off point on foot, on skis, or by snowmobile, depending on the conditions and your preference. Here, the briefing will begin, which will be twofold: one dedicated to paragliding and one specifically on how to behave in the air with Vega, the Harris hawk.

Before takeoff, you will get to know Vega better: a bird of prey accustomed to free flight, which does not follow commands but interacts with the environment and the pilot in a natural way. It is precisely this elegant and unpredictable presence that makes the flight so special.

When everything is ready, a short run on the snow or a few meters on foot will be enough to take off. We will glide over the Livigno ski area, surrounded by the highest peaks of the Alps, while Vega will fly alongside us, taking advantage of the same currents. If you wish, we can also add some more dynamic maneuvers, always in complete safety.

The flight lasts about 10-15 minutes. The landing will take place near the ski lifts, so you can continue your day on skis or enjoy Livigno from the ground... with a decidedly different story to tell.

Between preparation, briefing, flight, and return, the experience lasts about 1 hour in total.

For whom

The experience is suitable for everyone, regardless of age; minors under the age of 18 must be accompanied or have signed authorization from both parents.

The weight limit for participating in this experience is a minimum of 30 kg and a maximum of 80 kg (person only), maximum 110 kg (person with ski equipment).
