A Guide to Paragliding Adventures Abroad
Locations
Paragliding lessons are possible in most parts of the world because the necessary conditions are not too specific or difficult to find. You can find paragliding schools and instructors almost anywhere, from beaches to mountains to forests; if there is a place to jump, you’ve got yourself a flight!
If the mountains are your first choice, the Alps, Europe’s biggest mountain range, is your mecca for paragliding courses abroad. These hills are ALIVE people. You’ll feel like Fraulein Maria frolicking through alpine meadows after gliding high above a couple jagged, snow-capped “four-thousanders.” You have a buffet of take-off points to choose from, since these mountain peaks span across several countries; however, the French Alps house the biggest hotspots. Ski resort towns like Annecy and Chamonix attract paragliders and outdoor enthusiasts all summer long. Chamonix is home to Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Europe, and they even have a lift system for easy access to several launching points. The French Alps have paragliding schools which are open to all age groups and skill levels.
Another top spot for paragliding courses abroad lies a little farther east along the Mediterranean coast in Turkey. On one of the most photographed beaches in the Mediterranean, located in Oludeniz, lies Mount Babadag. Take a drive up through national parks and mountains while you ogle the crystal blue waters of the Oludeniz bay. Once you reach your take-off point, you’ll dive off the 2,000 meter (6,561 feet) peak (there are higher peaks too, if you dare). You can soar above the pristine beach and view dozens of shades of green living in the forest during your paragliding trip. Not to mention, the price of paragliding lessons in Turkey, including a flight with a professional guide, tends to be easier on your wallet.
If you’re a Disney fan, a fan of castles, or a fan of flying past castles, check out Neuschwanstein Castle near in Germany. Walt Disney used this German castle as inspiration when creating his own fairy tale castle; you know, the one you see at the beginning to all of the Disney movies ever created? During your paragliding lessons you can launch off many points on the nearby mountain, and feel like Peter Pan or Tinkerbell as you fly like a bird over the dense German forest and twirl around the majestic castle.
