At what age can you take your first paragliding tandem flight ?
MINIMUM AGE FOR A PARAGLIDING EXPERIENCE
If you'd like to offer a paragliding tandem flight to a child, please contact your nearest paragliding school. They'll be able to advise you. If they offer children's flights, they'll be able to tell you about the specific conditions for this type of flight, as well as the minimum age required. Generally speaking, the minimum age for a paragliding tandem flight is around 5 years, but some paragliding schools may be stricter. In fact, the minimum age may be higher, as the light weight of children can be a disadvantage for practice.

There is no age limit for a paragliding tandem flight ! While the question may arise as to the minimum age, there is no limit to the maximum age at which you can make your first flight. Tandem paragliding is very accessible, and all you need is to be in decent physical condition.
To help you find out if you're fit to fly a paraglider, ask yourself this question: am I fit to run for ten meters or so ? If the answer is yes, you're in good shape to take off and be a passenger on a two-seater paragliding fligh t! In fact, that's all you need to ensure a smooth take-off and landing. Once in the air, your expert paragliding instructor will take care of the rest of the flight, leaving you free to enjoy the pleasure of flying.
As you can see, the age limit for paragliding is very broad. But on the whole, paragliding tandem flight is considered accessible to everyone ! Nevertheless, if you still have any doubts, don't hesitate to ask your doctor. He'll be able to tell you if you're eligible to discover the sensations of aerial sports and enjoy a fabulous experience in complete safety.
