TOURISM>> Paragliding in Sicily

Paragliding in Sicily

is simply amazing... one of the best things to do in Sicily!

A takeoff from a hill, the chance to enjoy the wonderful view below and a soft landing on a beach is something that can happen in Sicily and in few other places in the world.

Thanks to the experience of our professional FIVL pilots (Italian Federation of Free Flight), you can experience the thrill of paragliding in Sicily, flying in the skies over the most beautiful locations in the island: Taormina, Capo Calavà, San Vito lo Capo, Pollina, San Cipirello and Piana degli Albanesi and more.

The tandem paraglinding flights in Sicily are absolutely safe and does not require any technical skills or athletic ability.

Contrary to what many may think, you do not have to jump anywhere to take off: paragliders just use the surface of the sail and a small run-up to lift off gradually.

The flight, that lasts about 20 minutes, is very pleasant because of the presence of the thermal updrafts that allow the aircraft to glide up to the soft landing.

“When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
(Leonardo da Vinci)
