BEST OF · SLOVENIA PARAGLIDING
The good paragliding flights sell their early slots weeks ahead, and early is when the air behaves. Below: the 6 to book first, what each includes and how they differ.
Fly tandem over Lake Bled with a trained pilot such as Dennis or Jon, after a 15-minute transfer to the hillside take-off point. Expect 10 to 30 minutes in the air, views of Bled Island and Castle, a small group of up to six, and weather-based scheduling.
“I was very easy. The pilot told what to do from departure to landing. Once in a life experience for me.”
Fly tandem above the Soča Valley and Julian Alps with Flying Bear pilots such as Robert, Gregor, Žan, or Jože. Expect a private, roughly two-hour experience from Bovec, with views toward Triglav, Mangart, Italy, Austria, waterfalls, and the chance for gentle aerial tricks when conditions allow.
“Absolutely unforgettable experience! 🪂 My instructor Robert was incredibly professional, experienced, and made me feel completely safe from start to finish. His calm and friendly attitude helped me relax and enjoy every second in the air. Huge thanks to the entire team for making this such a smooth and memorable adventure. Highly recommended!”
Meet at Vila Ula La in Bled, ride 15 minutes to a hill above the lake, and fly tandem for 10 to 25 minutes with an English-speaking pilot. You’ll see Bled Island and Bled Castle from the air before returning by vehicle. Bring warm sports clothes and sturdy shoes.
“It was a beautiful day and my pilot was great. Paragliding is a feeling like none other and I look forward to doing it again.”
Meet your certified local pilot in Bovec, ride to a launch site on Kanin, Mangart, Stol, or Kuk, then run a few steps and lift into the Julian Alps. Your pilot handles the equipment while you watch the Soča Valley, Adriatic, and nearby Alpine peaks from above.
“It was so awesome! I had the best guides ever and they were very supportive and made me feel safe throughout the activity.”
Meet Jože Biro’s team in Bovec for a private tandem flight over the Soca Valley. Depending on wind, you’ll launch from Kanin or Mangart, Slovenia’s highest road, and fly 20 to 40 minutes with a licensed instructor.
“An amazing take off location, brilliant instructors and an awesome flight. This was a fantastic experience, we were both first timers and we loved it.”
Meet in Bovec for a private tandem flight above the Julian Alps and Soča Valley. Your English-speaking pilot provides the gear and briefing, then guides you from mountain takeoff to a safe landing. Pilots Martin and Robert have led flights with optional spins and calm, scenic airtime.
“What an unforgettable experience! The team at Flying Bear was professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe from takeoff to landing. The views were absolutely stunning—soaring above the landscape felt like a dream.”
Pick a coast, a ridge or a valley.
