Paraglider

The term paraglider comes from parachute and glider. The pioneers of paragliding have modified sky diving parachute to jump of steep mountain slopes with glide ratio of 2 to 1 only! Today's paragliders glide with a glide ratio of 8 feet of forward movement for one feet of vertical descent.

Since the beginning of the nineties, paragliding is a sport in full expansion. In Quebec we have excellent paragliding schools that provide structured paraglider flight training lessons and well organized paraglider clubs. The paragliders have now reached a solid level of maturity in their design and are very reliable aircraft. Paragliding is with hang-gliding the less expensive form of non powered flight. To paraglide allows to fly in a sitting position with a panoramic view without any obstruction. Using thermals, a paraglider pilot can fly for hours, cover great distances, climb at several thousand feet near cloudbase and land in a small field.

A tandem paraglider flight will get you to rapidly discover the rich sensations of paragliding without having to take any courses, classes or lessons.
