How high do you fly on a tandem paragliding flight?

Modified on Thu, 16 Jan at 1:45 PM

The altitude during a paragliding flight depends on the altitude of the take-off site and on the updrafts caused by the thermals. During a thermal flight, the pilot tries to climb with the warm updrafts in order to get above the altitude of the take-off site. On good days, this can be up to 3,000 m above sea level. The passenger can of course say if they don't want to fly that high. This altitude also depends on the day and can only be reached under optimal conditions.
