Hike & Fly Experiences

Hike & Fly. A name that may sound mysterious to beginners, yet absolutely irresistible to those who love this unique sport.

Hike & Fly is both a sport and a way of experiencing the mountains, combining hiking (“hike”) with paragliding (“fly”).
The concept is simple and extraordinary at the same time: you hike up carrying lightweight gear, reach a summit on foot, and then take off with a paraglider to fly back down into the valley.
No mechanical transportation is involved during the experience — only your own legs for the ascent and the power of the wind for the flight and landing. That makes Hike & Fly a modern, sustainable way to experience the mountains in their fullest form, perfect for those who love hiking, free flight, and the natural environment.

Join us for an unforgettable adventure that combines the pleasure of hiking with the magic of paragliding. Together we will hike along beautiful mountain trails toward a panoramic summit. After a well-deserved break, we will take off with the paraglider and gently fly back down to the starting point.

Hike & Fly: What it includes

The Hike & Fly outings we organize are half-day or full-day experiences, depending on the ascent route and wind conditions. Departure is usually early in the morning, with return scheduled around lunchtime or mid-afternoon.
The hiking portion leads to a summit or elevated launch area suitable for taking advantage of the wind currents needed for takeoff, flight, and landing.
The experience is also open to beginners and first-time participants.
