About This Tour

This private tandem paragliding flight in the Soča Valley takes you up over Bovec with a certified local pilot. You don’t need any experience. The pilot handles the takeoff, the flight and the landing, and you sit in the harness and take in the view. It suits first-timers who want to try paragliding with only their own group, and anyone who wants to see the Julian Alps from above.

What you see from the air

  • Soča Valley: the emerald Soča river runs through the valley below you. From the air you see how the river, the villages and the meadows around Bovec sit between the mountains.
  • Triglav National Park: Slovenia’s only national park, with the high peaks of the Julian Alps around the valley. The mix of mountains and a mild climate from the nearby Adriatic gives the area its green, varied landscape.

What past travelers say

Past travelers often mention that the pilots were calm and friendly, which helped first-timers relax before takeoff. Many also mention the views of the Julian Alps and the Soča Valley as the best part of the flight.

Private tandem paragliding - awesome experience

Private tandem paragliding with Flying Bear was awesome! We did one hour flight which was amazing. The tour was also very well organized.

Great first time flight

I had a great flight with Gregor who was amusing and entertaining throughout, and definitely settled any nerves I had with his good humour. Also, the communication was very good as I reached out the night before and managed to reserve a slot the next morning, which was great. The flight itself was fantastic in a beautiful setting which I can highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any paragliding experience?

No. On a tandem flight the pilot flies the paraglider. You get a short briefing, then you run a few steps at takeoff and follow the pilot’s instructions for landing.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Paragliding needs good weather. If the flight is canceled because of the weather, you can choose a different date or get a full refund. Plan it early in your stay so there is time to move it if needed.

What is the cancellation policy?

  • Cancel at least 24 hours before the start time for a full refund.
  • Cancellations less than 24 hours before are not refunded.
  • Changes less than 24 hours before are not accepted.

What should I wear?

  • Closed shoes with a good grip, like sneakers or hiking shoes
  • Long trousers and a light jacket, since it is cooler up in the air
  • Sunglasses

Who is this flight not for?

It is not recommended for travelers with back problems, heart problems or other serious medical conditions, or for pregnant travelers. It is also not wheelchair accessible. You need a moderate fitness level for takeoff and landing.

How is a private flight different from a regular tandem flight?

Only your group takes part, so you don’t share the transport or wait for other guests. The start time is arranged directly with the local provider to fit your plans.

How soon will I know if my booking is confirmed?

Confirmation comes within 48 hours of booking, depending on availability. In summer it is best not to leave booking to the last day.
