Have you ever tried paragliding? Would you like to have a go at it now? Then, the easiest way to do it is by tandem flights, with qualified professional tandem paragliding pilots. The two-seater is a glider designed to carry the weight of two people, the pilot and the passenger. Not prior experience is needed, either age or physical limitations are true factors. We can glide just about anyone upon a tandem flight. All is needed is for the person to be able to take few steps and his health’s compatible with flights. For instance: not to suffer from heart diseases or phobia to heights. Children under 18 years must weight 40kg, and be authorized by a parent or guardians.

The takeoff is done in a simple way. The pilot takes care of everything; the passenger only has to follow simple instructions, to be keen in taking a few steps, and to let the glider lift him/her up smoothly into the air. Once in the air, he will be comfortably sitting in the glider’s chair until time for landing. The scenery to fly is in Cenes de la Vega’s valley. The take- off, takes place in Las Rozas (a mountain in the middle of the road towards Sierra Nevada, at the junction of Purche) the landing will take place in the village of Cenes.


Baptism flights usually last between 15 and 30 minutes, but there are two factors that we must take into account. First: meteorological conditions for that particular day. Second: the passenger’s emotion state. Often the thrill of flying for the first time, added to the new sensations experimented, air, height, speed, etc., altogether makes it inadvisable to extend the flight beyond half an hour. Our experience tells us that if the passenger enjoys his/her first tandem flight, he will want to fly alone. This will be achieved after taking an initiation course, and following more advanced courses.


Granaltura is registered in Andalusia Junta’s active tourism with registration number: AT/GR/00178, in the Andalusia’s Federation of aerial sports and in the Spanish’s Air Sports Federation, which means that we have by law all the requirements in training certification for Tandem’s flights and all the safety requirement by law, we have been teaching the paragliding activity for more than 20 years now. This gives us an extra assurance about how to approach the take- off with optimal conditions for the passenger’s safety, and to make from this a safe, exciting, and an outstanding experience.
