Tandem Flights -$159 Do you Dream of flying? The Ultimate Free Flight Experience
Summer Schedule (May-October): Morning flight times vary with conditions, but plan about 1 1/2 hours to 2 hours for your paragliding experience. Afternoon conditions are more subject to changes and a 2-3 hour block of time may be necessary for your paragliding experience. Your Pilot will check conditions the night before, and schedule a morning update call for that day's weather. Fall, Winter, and Spring Schedule: Colorado weather is always changing. Flying days can be limited. If you are in town for a short visit, please book early to accommodate for weather cancelations. What to Bring: A jacket for wind chill protection and proper footwear are the highest priorities to enhance the enjoyment and comfort of your flight. Participants should be prepared for cooler temperatures. Layered clothing, long pants with a wind proof outer shell is best. Sunglasses are normally recommended. You are also welcome to bring a small camera. Ankle support/ hiking boots are also highly recommended. Your pilot with Colorado Paragliding supplies all technical gear (helmet, harness, etc.) NO SANDALS type shoes or SHORT PANTS.
Questions . . . . . ? What happens when I get there? Do you just jump off a mountain? No. A Paraglider is launched from regulated flying sites and together with the instructor, you take some running strides and are gently lifted off the ground as the glider begins to fly. How does the whole thing take?
Are there any restrictions? We do have weight restrictions in place (from 70lbs. – 220lbs) depending on client fitness and weather conditions. Lighter people can be accommodated on an individual basis with weather conditions. What do I need?
We do a weather check in the early a.m. All flights are weather dependant. Colorado conditions can always change, and for your safety, flights can not be guaranteed for specific times and dates. All pilots who

USHGA-certified tandem instructors, which means they are
