Paragliding in the mountains
Without a doubt, paragliding in the Gudauri mountains will give you a huge amount of impressions that you will remember for a long time.
Mountain paragliding routes can hardly be called an ordinary walk - it is a difficult flight filled with vivid impressions. Mountains do not forgive mistakes, do not tolerate neglect.
An event such as a paragliding flight in the mountains will require maximum concentration; in flight conditions, all the knowledge and experience that is available will be required.
The mountains constantly show their skittish nature. We constantly have to start under the same conditions, and end the flight when the weather has changed dramatically.
We constantly have to deal with a situation when the weather in the mountains shows all its unpredictability. Our instructors are constantly flying in conditions that would be dangerous for a normal flat pilot.
We often practice flying in rotors when it is not over ridges. In this case, mountain-valley air currents (wind) have a huge impact, and meteoric ones at altitude. Depending on the circumstances, both of them can become assistants during the flight or complicate the task hundreds of times.
Most often we use the mountain-valley wind, as a rule, it appears during the day when the sun warms up the mountain slopes and warm air currents rush up.
How does any paragliding flight go?
After you arrive at the launch site, you need to undergo a mandatory briefing. They will tell you the basics of flying safely, what to do and how to behave.
