Paragliding

Paragliding in Montenegro.




Paragliding and nature are completely connected and in order to become an experienced paraglide pilot, it is necessary to listen, feel and understand the language of nature. Towards the end of the 1940’s in the US, Dr. Francis Rogallo, an American aeronautical engineer and inventor born in Sanger, California was performing experiments with a kite made from plain fabric, which eventually led to radical changes in the construction of lighter aircraft’s and was the predecessor of the modern paraglide. Paragliding in Montenegro is a truly once in a lifetime experience providing a unique view of the country’s breathtaking landscape.

Four paragliding clubs are organising paragliding events on Montenegrin coast for those who love extreme sports. For the tourists who have never flown before and would like to, a tandem flight is around 60 euros, and for friends of the clubs and those who book the flight in advance the price is around 40 euros. Non commercial tandem flying is only permitted for qualified pilots.
