Soar over the Benasque Valley with a local pilot in control, from a foot launch above Castejón de Sos, a winter speed-tandem on skis at Cerler, or a paratrike roll-away from the airfield. Flights run year-round and we match the line to your age, weight and how much airtime you want that day.
We start with a friendly chat about your weight, experience and how much airtime you want, then kit you up with harness and helmet at our valley base in Castejón de Sos. When your flight includes mountain transport, we ride up together to take-off; winter ski lines often meet at Cerler instead once lifts and wind look good for the day.
Take-off is gentle whether you walk a few steps, ski a short run with a speed wing, or roll away on the paratrike. In the air you relax while the pilot flies, with big Pyrenees views and peaks like Aneto on clear days. Landing stays smooth and controlled, and optional photo and video can be viewed after you touch down. If weather is not safe we move your flight to the next good window, and selected foot and paratrike lines can be adapted when you tell us about mobility needs in advance.
Our tandem base is in Castejón de Sos in the Benasque Valley, with launch sites above the village and landing fields below used every day in season. Summer foot flights use these sites, including rides up the mountain when transport is part of your option, and the nearby airfield for paratrike departures.
Winter flying also uses Cerler and other valley sites when wind and lifts allow, with ski speed-tandems meeting at the resort when you hold your own pass. Our pilots live here year-round and choose take-off hills from real valley conditions, not a single fixed timetable.
No flying experience is needed. Tandem flights suit a wide range of ages when weight and weather allow, including many family passengers with parental consent for minors. You walk a short take-off run, ski a brief line on speed-tandems, or roll away on the paratrike while the pilot controls the wing.
Tell us accurate weight, age and any mobility needs before the day so we match the right wing and launch. Speed-tandems require confident skiing and your own Cerler pass; paratrike flights need two passengers on the same trip. Optional photo and video are shown after landing if you want them.
We are local APPI-qualified pilots based in the Benasque Valley, flying these sites in summer and winter and matching flight type to your age, weight and the sensations you want that day. Year-round tandem options include valley foot flights, longer ridge lines, Cerler ski speed-tandems and motor paratrike trips from the airfield.
Briefings stay clear and personal, with modern tandem kit and small teams so you feel supported from kit-up to landing. Several foot and paratrike lines can be adapted when you tell us about reduced mobility in advance, and we postpone rather than push into unsafe wind or cloud.
No previous paragliding or aviation experience is needed for a tandem flight. You fly in a certified tandem harness while a qualified pilot controls the wing, inflation, speed and landing.
Before take-off you get a clear briefing on how to stand, when to walk, and how to sit comfortably in flight. The only thing you need to bring is sensible mountain clothing and accurate weight information for equipment selection.
Valley flights on foot are perfect for a first taste of flight, with a ride up the mountain from Castejón de Sos. Standard and premium foot flights add height and airtime over the ridge when the sky allows, ideal if you already know you want bigger views.
Speed-tandems on skis are winter fun at Cerler for confident skiers with their own pass. Paratrike flights leave from the airfield and need two people on the same flight. Tell us your dates, fitness and whether you prefer summer or winter flying and we will point you to the right line.
The paratrike flies as a two-seat motor tandem with strict weight and balance limits, so this flight is for two passengers on the same trip.
Travelling solo? Pick a foot tandem or ski speed-tandem instead, or ask if another guest wants to pair on your date. The two-person rule is about safe flying, not about filling seats for the sake of it.
Dress for a mountain day: flexible layers, a windproof jacket, long trousers and trainers or hiking boots with good grip. In winter, add gloves and a thin hat under the helmet if it fits comfortably.
Avoid scarves or loose jewellery that could snag lines at launch. Sunglasses and sun cream help in bright valley conditions. The school provides helmet and harness; you supply clothing suited to the season at altitude.
Many tandem passengers are families, and children can fly when they meet the weight range for the chosen wing and weather on the day. A parent or guardian must consent and stay on site for minors.
Share each child's age and weight beforehand so the pilot reserves the right wing. Very light or heavy passengers may need a specific launch or a milder weather day.
Paragliding depends on wind strength, direction and cloud base. If the valley or ski launch is unsuitable, the pilot postpones rather than flying in marginal conditions.
You are contacted to rearrange to the next suitable slot. Safety calls are made locally on the day because micro-climates in the Benasque Valley can differ from forecasts at lower altitude.
Still and video packages are optional extras on most foot and ski tandems. After landing, your pilot can show samples and you decide whether to buy files for your phone.
Paratrike flights may use a 360 camera with edited delivery within a couple of days. Photo and video are priced per person and sit outside the base flight fee; your pilot explains what is available when you are on site.
Speed-tandems and high winter launches from Cerler do not include a ski pass. You need a valid pass and the ability to ski to the agreed take-off with your pilot.
Foot launches from the valley usually include a ride up the mountain when that is part of your flight type. We explain pass and transport details when we agree your flight line together.
Most foot tandems start at our flight base in Castejón de Sos at the time we agree by message or phone. Parking is available in the village; allow a few minutes to find the office if it is your first visit.
Winter ski products may meet at Cerler instead. We send the exact meeting spot once the pilot has checked wind and lift operations for your flying window.
Most tandem sessions last between one and two hours from arrival to landing pickup, including briefing, kitting up and travel to launch when transport is part of your option. Time in the air ranges from about eight minutes on the shortest valley line up to forty minutes on premium foot flights.
High-mountain or ski-area launches can take longer when lift queues or road access add time. Arrive on time for your slot so the team can still use the best weather window of the day.
