Paragliding in La Palma
Do you like adrenaline-rush activities? If you are looking for the best conditions for paragliding, La Palma is one of the preferred destinations for paragliders worldwide.
Thanks to the island’s fantastic climate, the constant trade winds and the great visibility it offers, La Palma is practically the only place on the European continent where this sport can be practiced all year round, being able to fly up to 30 km without interruption.
Go paragliding in La Palma!
Paragliding is a relatively new sport, which emerged at the end of the 70s of the 20th century, at the initiative of a group of climbers who wanted to descend the peaks that they had previously ascended by parachute. The equipment is an ultralight glider formed by a flexible wing (sail) attached to a harness in which the pilot “sits”, which has controls to control the flight path and other parameters such as speed. It’s a simple yet exciting way to fly, either solo or with an instructor, in a two-seater model.
Whether you are a fan of paragliding or want to try it for the first time, you will be fascinated by the experience of observing this beautiful island from a bird’s eye view.
Ready to fly? If you want to go paragliding, at reception we can provide the contact information of the paragliding centre.
