Where is the take-off point of paragliders in Gudauri and how to get there?
The take-off point for paragliders in Gudauri is at the top of the elevators on the way to Mount Kudebi, which can be reached by a ski elevator. The exact location of the take-off point may vary depending on the weather and wind conditions on the day of the flight.
In the summer, the paraglider's takeoff point may be in a different location than in the winter season because the ski lifts are not always open during the summer months. Some of the most popular places for paragliding flights in Gudauri in summer are located within 4 km, from Gudauri, at the Jvari Pass near the Monument of Friendship Arch “Panorama”.
Depending on the weather conditions on the day of your flight the best location for your paragliding flight will be determined by your paragliding company. They will choose the best location to ensure a safe and enjoyable paragliding experience.
It is important to note that paragliding flights are weather dependent and may be canceled or rescheduled due to adverse weather conditions such as high winds, rain or thunderstorms. Your paragliding company will keep you informed of any changes or flight cancellations.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of my paragliding?
If the weather is bad on the day of your paragliding, it is likely that your paragliding session will be canceled or rescheduled for another day. Paragliding is an activity that is heavily dependent on weather conditions, and safety is a top priority for both the pilots and the participants.
If the weather is bad, the pilot may not be able to launch or may have difficulty controlling the paraglider, which could lead to an accident or injury. Therefore, it is important to follow the pilot's decision and instructions when it comes to weather conditions.
If your paragliding session is canceled due to bad weather, you may be able to reschedule for another day, depending on the policies of the company or organization that you booked the activity with. It is always a good idea to check their cancellation and rescheduling policies before booking to ensure you are aware of any potential charges or limitations.
