About This Tour

This tandem paragliding flight over Lake Bled takes you from a private take-off spot on the hill above the lake and down to a landing near the shore. You fly with an experienced pilot, so you don’t need any paragliding experience. It suits first-timers, couples and friends who want to see Bled from the air.

How the flight goes

  • Drive to the take-off: a driver takes you about 15 minutes through the villages around Bled, toward the Pokljuka plateau.
  • Briefing: while the pilots set up the wing, you can look down at the lake. Then your pilot gives you a one-on-one safety briefing, fits your harness and helmet, and checks everything before take-off.
  • In the air: flights usually last 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the wind and thermals. If you want, the pilot can do a few tricks with the wing, but only after asking you.
  • Landing: you land near Lake Bled, and the driver picks you up there.

What you see from above

The main view is Bled Island with its church in the middle of the lake. You also see Bled Castle on its cliff, the Ojstrica hill on the lake’s edge, and the Julian Alps around the valley.

What past travelers say

Past travelers mention that the pilots explain everything clearly and make nervous first-timers feel safe. Some say they got to steer the wing for a short time during the flight.

Amazing Views

This was incredible!!! Spectacular views, amazing pilot and seriously exciting. Flying over the island across the middle of the lake was simply breathtaking.

Do it!

The pick up and drop off was smooth. The instructor was friendly and serious. It goes against your natural instincts to jump off a cliff but it’s amazing! I landed safely on my butt. Just book the tour.

Fantastic Gift For My Son’s Birthday Present

Extremely fun. The instructors were all very experienced and knew exactly how to resolve any worries or issues. I didn’t even realise but in seconds we were off the ground and flying high. The scenery was beautiful and flying over lake Bled, doing cool tricks, even being allowed to control the paraglide for a little while. Would definitely do it again, the experience lasted quite long and everything was quick and snappy with introductions.
