How things work:

We usually meet at our place at 816 Lakeview Meadows Green in Invermere or at the landing site where you leave your vehicle.

We transport you to launch on a scenic 4×4 ride up (it takes around 30 minutes). From the upper parking lot we have to hike about 15 minutes to the summit (100 meter elevation gain).
We show you the equipment and fit you in the harness and helmet once we arrive at launch.
We are 100% wind and weather dependent. We like to start in the morning around 9:00am depending on bookings.
We are more sure to fly in the morning, less sure about the afternoons (valley winds).

That is why we always reconfirm bookings the previous day or the same morning.

The whole tour takes around 1h30min.

The passenger cannot be over 200 pounds and need to be fit enough to run.
You need some good hiking shoes, windproof jacket, sunglasses and don’t forget your camera (with a safety strap so you don’t loose it while flying)!

If you have your own bike/ski helmet take it with you!

WARNING:
Paragliding is HIGHLY addictiv and might result in STRONG DEPENDENCE TO THE SPORT…
