About the flight

The Express flight is a short sightseeing tandem of 7–10 minutes. The flight starts from an equipped launch site, a mandatory briefing is given before take-off, and the pilot is fully in control throughout.

Even in a few minutes you rise above Gudauri, see the Jvari (Cross) Pass and the Aragvi valley and get an HD video of your flight. Take-off is a short run down the slope under the pilot's control; landing is a smooth descent to the landing zone.

In detail

Express flight: programme details

Terrified of heights but eager to experience the sensation of soaring like a bird? We offer an ultra-short program of 7-10 minutes.

Plus, your life will be in the hands of an experienced and qualified tandem pilot!

The Highlights of BreezeGlide Paragliding in Georgia, Gudauri

  • We take off near the Gudauri resort or close to the stunning Jvari Pass, at an elevation of 2100m to 2300m above sea level.
  • Soaring directly above the Aragvi Canyon and the take-off zone.
  • The route covers a distance of 1-2 km.
  • Flight altitude is determined by weather conditions, as well as the landing site. It could be Gudauri or Jvari Pass at an elevation of 2100m to 2300m.

The offer is available from 16 April to 4 December, during the summer season. If the strength of the ascending air currents is good, landing is done at the take-off spot. In cases where the ascending currents are not strong enough for landing at the starting point, unfortunately, this type of flight becomes unavailable, but we can still proceed with the 'Paragliding Air Tour in Aragvi Canyon.' The entire program takes a maximum of 90 minutes from the moment the pilot meets the guest. The price for the short flight is 349 gel
