Paragliding Plose: Tandem flight over the Dolomites

Float over the Dolomites with an experienced pilot steering the flight

A tandem paragliding flight from Plose puts you airborne with a certified pilot who handles all the flying while you experience the Dolomites from above. The flight lasts around an hour, includes safety briefing and full equipment, and the pilot tailors the pace to your preference: smooth gliding or adrenaline maneuvers. Children from age 5 are welcome. The experience suits all fitness levels.

The experience

You start at the Plose launch point with a brief safety briefing and gear check: harness, helmet and gloves provided. After a few steps into the mountain air, the paraglide inflates and lifts. The sensation is immediate: the ground drops away, the noise of everyday life stops, and the Dolomite peaks spread out below in all directions. During the flight you drift over forests, alpine pastures and the jagged ridgeline, sometimes catching thermals that eagles use too. The whole arc takes roughly an hour from briefing to landing.

The pilot manages everything (steering, altitude, speed), so you're free to absorb the moment. If you want pure tranquility, the flight stays smooth and level. If you want to feel the edge, the pilot can add maneuvers and dips that send adrenaline through your chest. Either way, the choice is yours to make once you're in the air. Landing happens on a meadow, gentle enough that you step out steady and grinning.

Private transportation is included, and the pilot speaks English, Italian or German. Children from age 5 can fly. Pregnant travelers should not book this one. The experience is built for all fitness levels. You don't climb, don't exert, don't need any prior skill.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English, German and Italian.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 14 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What does the tandem flight actually feel like once you're airborne?

The initial sensation is weightlessness: the ground falls away and the noise stops, leaving only wind and the vast landscape below. You float rather than fly, drifting over the Dolomite peaks and meadows while the pilot handles all the control. The feeling shifts between serene gliding and, if you choose it, moments of adrenaline when the pilot banks or dives.

How long does the whole experience take from start to landing?

The flight itself lasts around an hour, which includes the time airborne over the mountains. Add time before for the safety briefing and gear fitting at the Plose launch point, and a few minutes to walk to the landing meadow afterward.

What happens if I want a calm flight instead of an adrenaline rush?

The pilot tailors the flight to your preference before you launch. If you want smooth, steady gliding over the landscape, that's what you get. The pilot won't add maneuvers or dips unless you ask for them during the flight.

Is there a weight or fitness requirement for paragliding?

The experience suits all fitness levels. You don't climb, don't exert and don't need any prior skill or strength. The pilot handles all the physical demands of flying. Pregnant travelers should not book this flight.
