Fly & Fun Story

Paragliding for us is a recreational activity. It is the means to have fun and get to know new places, enjoy nature's beauties, and make many good friends who share the same passion and love for flying. We respect the activity and safety rules, which we always make a priority.

Paragliding is a fantastic sport that has not stopped giving me beautiful experiences even after 30 years. On every flight, I discover something new, something magical that surprises me and makes me learn new things. The beautiful emotions it evokes are of great value to me, and I am happy to share them with my students and passengers, giving them a taste of the magical world of flying. It makes me happy every time I see on their faces, the unprecedented emotions and the immense joy, as if they were children!!!
