This is probably the country where you’ll find the most beautiful spots in Europe, with mountains, forests and lakes as far as the eye can see. The best spots are in the canton of Valais<\/strong>, on Lake Geneva<\/strong> or in Interlaken<\/strong>, in the Bernese Oberland mountain region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Italian Alps also offer some great spots for an unforgettable first paragliding experience. Take the Dolomites<\/strong>, for example, or Lake Garda<\/strong> and its view of Sirmione.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best paragliding spots in America<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The USA<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the United States, there are countless paragliding spots, each more impressive than the last, like Jackson Hole<\/strong> in the western valley of Wyoming or Hawaii. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brazil<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you have the chance to visit Brazil, you won’t want to miss Rio de Janeiro<\/strong>, an ideal spot for a first paragliding experience. Governador Valadares<\/strong> is also well known for its paragliding flights, but be sure to avoid the wet season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peru<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Although the Andes are generally recommended for experienced paragliders, there are clubs offering first flights in Lima and the Cusco valley<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best paragliding spots in Asia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Nepal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It’s impossible to talk about paragliding in America without mentioning Nepal. The Himalayas, like the Andes, are not a good place for beginners, at least not at high altitudes. Nevertheless, in Pokhara<\/strong> you’ll find a very pleasant spot with a breathtaking view of the Himalayan peaks and Lake Phewa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Finally, part of Turkey lies in Asia Minor. Just off the Mediterranean Sea lies Oludeniz<\/strong>, one of Turkey’s finest paragliding spots. You’ll also find some very interesting sites on the Black Sea coast. In this part of the Mediterranean, conditions are favourable all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best paragliding spots in Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

South Africa<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most famous spots in South Africa are, of course, in Cape Town<\/strong>. You can enjoy the scenery and the view over the city. Conditions are ideal all year round for a first flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Namibia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Launch yourself from the top of the dunes, facing the sea<\/strong>, and discover a breathtaking landscape between sea and desert as far as the eye can see. You’ll see shipwrecks washed up on the beach (ideal conditions from October to March).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morocco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Africa’s most adorable destination in terms of price, Morocco is renowned for its paragliding on the famous Atlas mountain<\/strong> (with 300 days of sunshine a year, conditions are ideal all year round).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best paragliding spots in Oceania<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

New Zealand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Weather conditions are ideal from December to February. There are plenty of great spots, such as Queenstown and Coronet Peak<\/strong> above Lake Wakatipu, or the South Islands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Australia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If paragliders and hang-gliders had to choose a favourite spot in Australia, it would be Ben Nevis in Victoria<\/strong> for its incredible views and eagle watching. As you can see, there’s no shortage of spots, so all you have to do is take off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
