Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Takeoff is the peak adrenaline point: you run a few steps off the hillside above Lake Como and the ground drops away instantly. After that, the flight levels into a sustained glide over the lake with the Alps visible on clear days.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
A degree of height sensitivity actually sharpens the experience. Tandem paragliding puts you in open air above Lake Como with nothing below for a significant stretch. If you freeze on ladders, factor that in. If heights give you a manageable rush, you're in the right place.
How long are you actually airborne?
The total booking is 1.5h including briefing, hike to launch, and flight. Airborne time varies with thermals and wind conditions on the day.
Is this suitable for complete beginners?
Yes. AirEmotions operates tandem flights, meaning a certified pilot controls the glider throughout. The physical level is listed as "Occasionally sporty", so basic mobility and the ability to run a few steps on takeoff are all that's needed.
