What is paragliding?
A modern paraglider is an improved version of a parachute that uses updrafts of air to hover horizontally above the ground. Experts call it gliding or free flight. Today, a paraglider is a full-size aircraft that can lift two adults into the air. It is designed to be as safe as possible, especially for passengers.
In order to glide, the glider must gain altitude. The easiest and most affordable way is to run it in the mountains. In most cases, this method is used in the mountains of Gudauri.
The second way to climb is to use an engine whose power turns the propeller.
Hundreds and thousands of amateur and professional pilots visit the mountains of Gudauri every year. Our main task is to ensure the safety of all those taking off.
There are situations when a large group of paragliders take off at the same time, and such a situation can endanger everyone who is in the air or hovering.
We organize our flights in such a way as to reduce any risk to zero. All instructors have extensive experience in the mountains of Georgia.
