Total time is about 60 min (including going up with the cable car and flight preparation) for each passenger. Videos and pictures will transform your experience in a memorable adventure.
PARAGLIDING BRASOV - BUNLOC, SACELE
on your way from Bucharest, right before the entry to Brasov, behind Ramada hotel, you will discover probably the most popular flying spot for tandem paragliding in Romania - Bunloc. We will take off at 1200 m and land at approx. 700 m altitude. That will give us a 500 m level difference. From here you will be able to enjoy the view of Brasov and Sacele cities. The view will continue with Bucegi and Baiului mountains. It is the most popular flying spot also because is very accessible - we have here a cable car taking us just at the takeoff. As for the landing - you will find it near the parking lot.
When do we fly here: In general Bunloc is our summer location. We use it from April to October but sometimes in the winter too.
Paragliding Brasov - Postavaru in Poiana Brasov
The flight from here is more spectacular, with the take off at 1800 m (the height of Postavaru peak). The landing is just in Poiana Brasov sky resort. However we will tell you from the start that Poiana Brasov is not accesible every day, being more exposed to the winds. From this very reason we will use it especially for winter flights.. So, if you come for a sky or snowboarding Holiday you can combine it with the adrenaline of a memorable flight. Please check also our pictures gallery to have glimpse of what winter flying means.
When do we fly here: We prefer Postavaru especially for winter paragliding flights. Although we can fly all year round, the thermals are strong here and the rest of the year will be used for long duration flights only
Paragliding in Piatra Craiului mountains
Starting from the city of Zarnesti, we will go towards Magura Village, one of the "entry gate" to the magnificent Piatra Craiului mountains. Here we will park the cars and we will start our hike to the take off on foot for aprox 40 min. This flying spot is ideal for long flights, for endless hours in the air. From here we will be able to admire from the air the famous Dracula Castle but also the peaks of Piatra Craiului mountains
When do we fly here: Summer months and beginning of autumn, especially in the afternoon
Take off Magura Alt : 1251 m.
landing in Predelut: Alt : 759 m
Paragliding in Bucegi mountains
If you are lucky enough to fly from here, for sure you will not forget easily. The landscape is beyond words, and even the fact that we will glide over crevasses and forests at above 2200 m will for sure leave you breathless! We will go up with the cable car from Busteni and we fly from here mainly in October and Novemberwhen the valley wind will allow us to safely land down below in Parahova Valley Please check out our presentation movie here.

Paragliding in Leaota mountains
Just in the hearth of Leaota Mountains in a lesser touristical spot, Priseaca is the perfect place for long paragliding flights, Here, with the help of the upstream currents we will be able to fly high, up to the cloud base! The landing will be either on top of the mountain, or down the valley in Stoenesti village. Priseaca is a spot with a "pedigree" being one of the spots where national and international paragliding championship took place. The flight itself will be spiced up with a special 4x4 vehicle (perhaps the most funny you have seen so far) that will take us to the take off. Meeting point for our flights from here is the center of Stoenesti village, Arges county, a few km away from the city of Campulung
