What do we need to know about the tandem paragliding tour?
The tandem paragliding 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 1220 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 countinue on 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 10 to 25 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.
