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.
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.
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.
Flights depend on the weather, so check the available dates early in your trip.

This was incredible!!! Spectacular views, amazing pilot and seriously exciting. Flying over the island across the middle of the lake was simply breathtaking.
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.
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.
No. You fly in tandem with a pilot who controls the wing. You get a personal safety briefing before take-off, and the pilot checks all your equipment.
It is also not wheelchair accessible.
Wear comfortable clothes and sports shoes. It can be colder in the air than on the ground, so bring an extra layer.
Paragliding depends on the wind. The flight can be moved to another hour or date, or canceled if conditions change. If it is canceled because of the weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
No. Photos and videos are not part of the package, so ask the pilot on the day if you want them.
Usually between 10:00 and 13:30. The exact time is confirmed two days before the flight, based on the forecast. Plan to keep the rest of that morning free in case the time moves.
