When you think about paragliding, the image of the bluest skies and the greenest earth comes to mind, with you somewhere in between, not knowing what to look at first. Paragliding is mans greatest dream made true: that of being able to fly outside a machinery (like for example a helicopter, airplane, and so on). Although a relatively new sport, it has gained lots of fans from all over the world and there are more and more people expressing their desire to practice it.
If you know someone who would like to try this sport, then you can make them a surprise. It will spare you the quest of finding the best gift for them because you can now make a reservation for a paragliding session on their name and offer it to them on their birthday or on a special day (like Easter, Christmas, wedding anniversary, and so on). They will thank you a thousand times for your gift and you will be wondering why: because being able to admire the world, the earth from above cannot be compare to any other feeling.
It is different from driving and it is definitely different from flying and airplane. You only have air under your feet, air above your head and air all around you. No walls, no buttons, no stirring wheel. Just you and a veil in the immensity of the sky. You can stay in the air for as much as you want, from only a couple of minutes and up to 2 hours.
If you decide on buying your own equipment, then you need to know that it will not pose you any problems. It is lightweight and easy to carry and some of the models available on the market will perfectly fit a backpack. You can thus deposit it easily in your car or in a wardrobe and use it whenever you want.
In order to get the best out of paragliding, you will need to find some good starting points. Dont know what regions are the best for this sport? Try Switzerland. In Lucerne you will find some of the most amazing landscapes and some of the best places for a perfect start. For example, some of the flying sites from central Switzerland are from the mountain Pilatus, Rigi, or Engelberg. Take a deep breath and jump. Admire the view, take photos and collect wonderful memories in the Alps!
