Paragliding in Armenia

Fly tour begins with a prior reservation. Pilot-instructor pre-checks weather conditions and suggests possible time and place of the flight. The day begins with a meeting with the pilot in Yerevan (Hostel Glide - Kalents str. 16/1). Further, a pilot and the passengers seat in a comfortable transport and start a trip to the launch place (Aparan, Lake Sevan, Buzhakan, Mt. Atis, Haghartsin, Yeghvard, Garni or Vedi). After getting to the launch place, which is situated at an altitude of 2000 to 2800 m above sea level, the pilot gives the necessary explanations for a good takeoff and landing. Afterwards, they both wear the harnesses and helmets and start the flight. The rules are simple - the pilot lifts the glider off the ground and all the passenger has to do is try to run forward without sitting or jumping. The passengers should be in a sportswear. It is desirable to have sunglasses, hat, sunscreen and a good mood.
