A bit about tandem paragliding

The paraglider is one of the most adapted flight equipment for humans. The paragliding system itself includes a paraglider, a harness and a pilot. A paraglider flies by means of dynamic and thermal buoyant air currents. In addition, such an aircraft device is the safest in comparison with others. Paragliders have good stability and low takeoff speed, which also provide additional safety for our guests. A double paraglider is called a tandem. In most cases, the second place is taken by the instructor, who is also part of the security system for our guests. The pilot-instructor sits down from behind so as not to interfere with the aesthetic pleasure of the client, whose eyes will be turned to the beautiful mountain peaks of Gudauri.

The take-off process takes place from a special platform, which is selected in the most careful way. For a tandem paragliding flight in Gudauri, our guest will run up the slope and take off from the foot of the hill.
