El Berguedà, Catalan Pyrenees

- Just over 1 h from Barcelona
- Pickup at 8:00

We're not a Barcelona company pretending to be from the mountains
We are based in el Berguedà, an exceptional Pyrenean region between Barcelona and Andorra where aerological conditions are ideal almost year-round. Our flight centre is located in Avià, 5 minutes from Berga. A seamless experience including hotel pickup, briefing, scenic flight, and return to Barcelona in time for dinner.

You can choose between two durations: a short flight to discover what flying feels like, and a longer one with more time in the air.
Short flight

What people ask us
Is it safe?
Tandem paragliding with a professional pilot has a very strong safety record when conditions are respected, and here you don't fly with just anyone: licensed pilots who fly these mountains every day and train safety manoeuvres on a recurring basis. The equipment is checked constantly, every flight gets its briefing before take-off, and the most important decision is made on the ground: if the weather isn't right, we don't fly.
What happens if weather conditions prevent flying?
We reschedule for another day during your stay or issue an immediate 100% refund. No hassle, no paperwork.
Can I come without a car?
Yes, three ways: we organise round-trip transport from central Barcelona (tick the box when you book), you can take the train to Manresa and a taxi on to Avià, or the direct Alsa bus to Berga, where we pick you up at the bus station.
Do you speak English?
Yes. Briefings, in-flight conversation and pre-booking communication are all available in English, Spanish or Catalan.
