Tandem Paragliding in Gudauri: Certified Pilots, Full HD Video

Launch into the Caucasus with a certified pilot and a camera rolling.

Tandem paragliding in Gudauri pairs you with a certified professional pilot for a 45-minute flight over the Caucasus Mountains, with safety gear, full HD GoPro video, and pickup included. The pilot handles the wing and the landing. You experience the view and the weightlessness. A brief safety briefing happens on the ground before takeoff.

The experience

You arrive in Gudauri with a free afternoon and no experience required. The pilot meets you, walks through a safety briefing, and fits you into a harness and helmet. Then you're running down a slope into the wind, the wing fills, and the ground drops away. For 45 minutes you're suspended above deep canyons and valleys, watching the ridgeline of the Caucasus roll beneath you. The pilot handles all the flying. Your job is to look around and breathe.

A full HD GoPro camera records the entire flight, so you get footage of the takeoff, the peaks, and the landing, not a still photo, but the whole arc of it. The video is yours to keep. Pickup is included, which means you don't arrange transport to the launch site. The operator handles that part. Safety gear (helmet and harness) comes with the booking, fitted to your size on arrival.

How does tandem paragliding work if I've never done it before?

You're harnessed to the pilot, who controls the wing and the flight path. After a brief ground briefing on safety and what to expect, you run together into the wind, the wing lifts, and you're airborne. The pilot manages takeoff, steering, and landing. You experience the flight. No prior experience or training is needed.

What do I see during the 45-minute flight?

Deep canyons, valleys, and the peaks of the Caucasus Mountains spread out below you. The view changes as the pilot catches thermals and moves across the landscape. The altitude and the angle shift throughout the flight, so you're seeing the terrain from multiple perspectives.
