Impressions about paragliding
“When you are standing at the age of an abyss, – jump to fly, not to fall.”
Robert Orben
Everyday routine leads to weariness. And you need to reset yourself to feel drive, energy and to enjoy life to the full! Do you want to fly over the routine? – try tandem paragliding with an experienced instructor of the SkyAtlantida team in the mountains of Georgia. You don’t need to get prepared for that, we will take care of everything. You will remember the paragliding experience forever
How to reach the launch pad
You need to reach the launch platform on the appointed day:
The standard flight route is the Aragvi River Canyon. Just imagine: from a height of 600 meters you can see the Aragvi River gorge, Mount Bidara, the extinct volcanoes of the Celtic Plateau. The flight is limited only by ascending stream of warm air. In theory, if weather conditions are favorable, we can stay in the air for a whole day, covering over 500 km, which means flying over the whole of Georgia. In practice, it’s enough to perform a tandem flight with an instructor for 10 minutes to an hour. A short instruction before the flight, a few steps and there you are soaring without anyengine noise, only you, an instructor and hundreds or thousands of meters of altitude separating us from the ground and we are flying together with birds. Our tandem instructors are not only professional pilots and participants of prestigious international competitions such as Pre-Cup and World Cup events, but they are also guides and very friendly people! They will tell you about the places you are flying over, they will calm down those who are afraid and show a couple of tricks to extreme lovers! After landing in the Aragvi River Canyon, our car will pick you up and take you to your hotel.
If the weather is fine, the second option is to land where we started, share emotions with friends and family and have a small picnic.

Impressions after paragliding in summer
Flying in the mountains is an unforgettable experience. In summer, there is high turbulence, due to the mixing of warm and cold air currents. Thanks to the turbulence, you can fly for 15 minutes to an hour or more in summer. Aerial aerobatics performance will provide even more thrills during your flight. In 15-50 minutes you will see the Cross Pass, the Gudauri resort and the Aragvi River Canyon with its unique lakes and numerous waterfalls. Unforgettable landscapes of Bidara, Kudebi, Chrdili, Sa
Impressions about paragliding in winter
Winter flights is different from summer flights. Paragliding in winter is gentle and smooth. In winter there is less turbulence and the chance of getting airsick tends to zero! It is a great option for those who have problems with vestibular apparatus. Maximum flight time in winter is up to 30 minutes as there is no upward air currents.
The beauty of winter flights cannot be expressed in words! From Mount Kudebi peak, 3006 meters high, we will fly over the Caucasus Mountains passing the majestic Chrdili, Bidar, Grandpa Ena, Sharhot and Mepis
