Paragliding

What is paragliding?

Paragliding is an exhilarating outdoor activity that blends elements of parachuting and gliding. Unlike traditional skydiving, where participants jump from great heights and use a parachute for landing, paragliding involves taking off from mountains, hills, or specially designated platforms, harnessing rising air currents. With a paraglider — a lightweight, maneuverable flying device — you can not only ascend into the air but also enjoy extended flights and perform acrobatic maneuvers.

Paragliding in Gudauri

Paragliding in Gudauri is not just an extreme activity; it’s a unique experience that creates unforgettable memories for a lifetime. Gudauri, a ski resort located at an altitude of 2,196 meters above sea level, is one of the most popular paragliding destinations in Georgia. The towering Caucasus mountains provide ideal conditions for paragliding, offering stable updrafts that allow for extended airtime and breathtaking views.

A paraglider flight near Tbilisi is an opportunity to experience the thrill of flying while seeing Georgia from a completely new perspective. Gudauri is the perfect place to feel the freedom of soaring through the air like a bird, taking in panoramic views of majestic mountains and lush valleys.

Gudauri is especially well-suited for tandem flights. Experienced and professionally trained pilots ensure not only safety but also maximum enjoyment during the flight. All pilots are certified, and their expertise guarantees a smooth and secure experience, even for first-time flyers.

The paragliding flight lasts 15–20 minutes, enough time to fully embrace the feeling of gliding on ascending air currents and admire the stunning beauty of the mountains. Though the airtime is relatively short, the memories created by paragliding will last a lifetime.

Gudauri, located far from bustling cities, is also a great spot to enjoy the solitude and tranquility of nature. A car trip from Tbilisi to Gudauri takes approximately two hours, passing through picturesque mountain passes where you can stop to take photos and soak in the views of the majestic Caucasus. The journey itself is an adventure.
