AirParapente

AirParapente elevates you to the heights of the skies of central Spain with its flights in the most desirable means to take your feet off the ground. Do not forget that we are an exclusive alternative for your hang gliding experience in Madrid . This is what we offer you:

• Hang gliding with two-seater engine : take a look at the Sierra de Guadarrama on a flight of around 25 minutes through the Natural Park of the Sierra Norte and its surroundings. You will be a privileged tourist contemplating the towns of Castilla from the sky, seeing the Pedraza Castle or the Arcones area.

• Hang gliding in free flight : the tandem available to anyone traveling with one of our pilots with a team specially adapted for the weight of two people at the same weather. We start from Arcones near the almost 2000 meters of altitude of Peña Berrocos where we have chosen a point that exceeds a unevenness of 700 meters in a part where low bushes predominate.

According to the meteorology, we can also take off from the Muela de Alarilla where we go to the slope to the north of this hill to face a drop of 250 meters . What we like the most about the place is that the maneuver to start the flight admits the different orientations that the wind can take and, in return, it gives us views of the Sierra de Ayllón or the surroundings of the Henares channel if we look west .

• Tandem paragliding : although it is a more common means of flight, it never ceases to be satisfactory. We use the same locations for this and we play with the currents to show you what you can feel in each maneuver and turn.

With AirParapente you finally have the opportunity to hang gliding near Madrid . We are the only ones to offer you this service within an average of an hour from the capital by car, as this is where the closest authorized points for the flight are located.

- Our tandem hang gliding : you will go out with one of our experienced pilots so you don't have to know how to fly alone. We have two of the best called Blay and David. So you can familiarize yourself with their names before coming to see us. They are the ones who take charge of all the maneuvers, making you participate in them so that you know in a general way what they consist of.

Before taking off, they will talk to you about the conditions of the environment in which the activity is carried out since the currents and the wind influence it. Then they put on the fasteners that join you to the hang-glider structure and you take off. The free flight time is not fixed but you will enjoy an unequaled peace during every minute of the adventure. While you live it they will record you with a GoPro camera and they will put the video on an SD card so that you have it as a souvenir.

- Where to fly : these are locations around the Madrid community, specifically in Segovia, just above Arcones , and if we go to Guadalajara, in La Muela of Alarilla . For a small increase in the cost of the flight we will take you there both from Segovia and from Madrid. Also in groups of 4 participants, you won't even have to pay for transportation.

We leave all year long and relocate your flight to other dates if we have to postpone it due to bad weather so that you do not lose your money or the illusion of trying hang gliding.

You can also join the group of pilots in the country by training with our hang gliding courses in Madrid which are made up of various phases:

- Operation and control : between the first 2 and 4 days we teach you the theory about how a hang glider works and you begin to test the proper way to take off and land on terrain where the slope is minimal.

- First flights : these are the ones you will do for safety at distances between 2 and 50 meters , little by little and with a logical progression. It can take anywhere from 2 to 5 days in which you will end up training the turns.

- Gaining height : at this point as teachers we will help you descend from an imposing 1800 meters leaving you almost ready to be autonomous in this sport.

Within the price of the course we take care that you use one of our hang gliders, lend you the harness, the helmet that you must wear and provide you with the station through which we communicate with you. You tooWe will solve the transfer from the school to the places where we do thepractices.

With AirParapente fly in tandem paragliding so that you have the aerial experience that you have always looked for at hand. It is the most comfortable way for you to know what free flight consists of.

We will approach the best flight areas in the center of the peninsula that are in the provinces of Guadalajara and Segovia. Even so, it only takes an average of 60 minutes to get there from Madrid. Alarilla and Arcones , respectively, are the take-off areas from which we can guarantee a higher quality experience.

Our pilots, in addition to having many flights behind them, are among the best. You can even go out with the one who holds the record for having covered the longest route in the whole country, reaching about 290 km in the same trip.

They will be the ones to tell you what the material we use consists of and what is the technique that you will follow with one of them to take off. Like everything that has to do with nature, we depend on it to specify what the adventure will be like. Depending on the wind, we will do one or the other maneuvers between the different currents.

We have available a GoPro camera with which we will take a video to give you when we are done.
