Description
Amazing panoramic views on a tandem paragliding Bled flight
An unforgettable adventure filled with adrenaline high above the ground offers a bird’s eye view of the surrounding Julian Alps in the Triglav National Park and the Karavanke Mountains to the north. The panoramic views also open to stunning alpine valleys with emerald-blue rivers, mighty forests, and idyllic villages.
During an exciting tandem flight with experienced pilots, you will also have the opportunity to observe the beautiful landscape with the town of Bled, its famous lake and an island in the middle of the lake. As you glide down towards the landing field, you will be able to see the ruins of Kamen Castle, at the entrance to the Draga Valley. To make the experience even more memorable it is possible to arrange a video recording of your flight on an 8GB memory card drive.
Information for paragliding Bled tour
The Paragliding Bled adventure starts at the meeting point in the central part of Bled. From here we will take a 10-minute drive to Begunje that lies at 577 meters of altitude. From here, the tour continues with an exciting 15-minute off-road ride with a 4×4 vehicle to the starting point at an altitude of 1450 meters. At the top of the hill, the instructors will equip you with a helmet and harness while explaining some of the basic rules and take-off procedures. You won’t need to learn how to launch and control the paraglider, as the pilot will do it for you.
After a few steps, you will start to fly through the air and follow the wind, while you comfortably sit in the harness. The adventure ends near Dobrča Mountain as from here you will glide towards the landing field located near the village of Begunje. From Begunje, we will drive back to the meeting point in Bled.
Depending on the weather and wind you will be able to enjoy your time in the air for about 20 to 30 minutes. The time in the air depends on the sun, as the sunny weather offers more opportunities for beautiful views and the ride is more tranquil. The whole tour takes about 2 hours, which also includes transport, preparation, and gliding in the air.
Safety measures and experienced tandem pilots
Tandem paragliding Bled high above the ground with an expert pilot is suitable for anyone who would like to experience an unforgettable adventure and panoramic views of the alpine landscape in Slovenia. However, there are some limitations, such as:
- The minimum age of a child is 8 years, with a minimum height of 135 centimeters or a minimum weight of 35 kilograms.
- Maximum weight is 120 kilograms
Certified tandem pilots with years of experience lead the entire tour and take care of the launch, flight, and safe landing. That’s why you don’t need a licence or previous experience. Even if you are afraid of heights, you will surely overcome the fear with the help of our skilled instructors.
Weather conditions and best time for paragliding Bled
Paragliding Bled is available every day between April and October. Regardless of the outside temperatures, we recommend that you put on sports shoes and dress in warm clothing such as a wind jacket or fleece.
The weather in the hilly alpine landscape can be very unpredictable. Since tandem flights depend on the weather conditions, the paragliding Bled can be cancelled the last night or in the morning before the scheduled departure. In case of cancellation due to rain or heavy wind, we will offer you an alternative activity or a full money refund. You can also wait a day or two for the weather to clear up and then go on the tandem flight adventure.
