A tandem flight under a rigid delta wing with an instructor, helmet and gear included. It feels a little more like a small aircraft, and it takes younger flyers too.

Early morning in the air

Motor paraglider with an orange wing taking off from a grassy airfield

Flights run early in the morning, when the air is calmest, and we confirm your exact time when we book you in. After a short safety briefing and a helmet check, the pilot takes off and flies you over the hills north of Sofia, with views towards the Iskar Gorge and the Balkan range. The pilot picks the route on the day according to the wind, and flyers go up one at a time while the others watch from the field.

👤
Who can fly
No experience needed. The motor paraglider is for flyers aged 18 and over (ask us about younger ones); the hang glider takes flyers from 8 with a parent present, usually up to about 110 kg.
🎁
As a gift
A motor paragliding flight makes an easy present. The gift has no expiry date, and we agree the flight date directly with the person you are treating.

Want to fly yourself?

From the same airfield we also arrange two flights where you take the controls yourself. If you would rather fly than be flown, see the gyrocopter flight near Sofia or fly a plane near Sofia. Motor paragliding is the gentler, open-air option, with nothing to do but enjoy the view.
