Amazing panoramic views from up in the sky
Powered paragliding in Slovenia includes a breathtaking flying route that will take you high above the ground and over the stunning alpine scenery with panoramic views of the Julian Alps, the Karavanke mountains in the north and over Lake Bled and the Sava River. When you take off from a field and when you lose the ground under your feet, soon after the view of the Royal Bled golf course will open up.
Then you will observe the river confluence of the Sava Dolinka and the Sava Bohinjka River, which flow into the green-blue Sava River. When gliding high above the ground, the wind will take you above Lake Bled, where you will have the opportunity to see the lake with a small island and a church, the whole town and the mighty Bled Castle from a completely different perspective. Then, in tandem, you will fly over Velika Osojnica hill and towards the renowned Šobec camp, where the Sava River and the mighty spruce forest glisten in the sun.
How is power paragliding different from other tandem flights?
This tour differs from other tandem flights in the offer, as it combines the use of a parachute with a small motor in the back, that can be worn as a backpack. This allows you to enjoy in the comfortable harness and the front row with beautiful panoramic views from every angle.
Transport to the take-off starting point
From our headquarters in Bled we will drive to take-off starting point that is only 15 minutes away. The starting point for a powered paragliding adventure is located on the idyllic meadow next to the Vrba village.
Here the instructor will equip you with all the necessary equipment, such as a helmet and harness, and explain the rules for a take-off. When ready, you and the pilot will descend the meadow to the endpoint, where you will start to fly high into the sky with a parachute. A vehicle will be waiting for you near the landing field, from where we will drive back to Bled.
Duration of the whole tour and time in the air
The entire powered paragliding tour takes about 2 hours, with transport and preparation altogether. The flying route above and along the Sava River takes 30 minutes. If you would like to have long-lasting memories of this experience, we can take pictures and record videos while gliding up in the air. All the recordings are saved on a USB disc.
Experienced tandem instructors
Our certified instructors have many years of experience and provide your safety at all times. Your personal guides for the powered paragliding tour also take care of the launch, flight, and safe landing. Therefore, you can enjoy the magnificent views of the alpine landscape. Also, you don’t need any prior experience for the tandem flight, as pilots will do all the work.
Powered paragliding for nature and adrenaline lovers
Tandem flights with experienced powered paragliding instructors are suitable for everyone who would like to view the beautiful alpine scenery of Lake Bled and its surroundings from a different perspective, high above the ground. To ensure maximum safety, certain weight limitations apply, with a minimum weight of 30 kilograms and a maximum weight of 120 kilograms. Also, the tour is not suitable for pregnant women.
Best time for a tandem flight
Tandem powered paragliding in Slovenia is available every day between the start of April until the end of October. Regardless of the season, we recommend that you wear warm clothes for the tour, as the outdoor temperatures are lower up in the air.
The tour is weather dependent, as we cannot fly when there is heavy rain or strong wind. The weather can change very quickly, so there is a possibility that we cancel the tour on the last night or morning before the scheduled date. In this case, we will offer you an alternative tour or you will wait until the weather clears up. We can also make a full money refund.
