Soaring with the eagles – Paraglide with Team Xtreme

Agosto 23rd, 2010 No Comments »

Learn to soar like an eagle over Andalucía, and enjoy a bird’s eye view of southern Spain’s beautiful scenery, with a choice of Paragliding experiences from Team Xtreme. The flights take place in the area of Algodonales, near Ronda, around an hour from the coast, where the best climatic conditions for this sport are found almost all year around. In fact, this area is well known amongst Paragliders across Europe and beyond as it is amongst the most spectacular locations with some of the best thermals in Europe, assuring you of an exceptional experience.

So what’s paragliding? Well, to paraglide, you are suspended in a comfortable harness below a fabric wing that can be steered and manoeuvred, taking advantages of different air pressures and temperatures. You experience the peace, tranquillity and awesome beauty of the Andalucían countryside from an eagle eye’s point of view! As a complete beginner you can choose between a tandem flight with an experienced pilot, who has been flying for over two decades, or an introductory, hands-on two day course where you receive expert tuition from Team Xtreme guides and learn the practical basics and theories of this exciting sport.

The tandem flight is suitable for most ages and fitness levels, and will introduce you to the thrill and excitement of paragliding.  The two day course will enable you to perform some basic, low height flights by yourself with a reduced size paraglider.

You’re sure to experience a real adrenalin rush as your glide and soar with the thermal currents. Be warned; after one of these sensational experiences, many people have gone on to become passionate paragliders!

What’s included in the paragliding experience:

Fully qualified instructor (teaching since 1990)

Activity specific materials

Tandem Flight

Insurance

Team Xtreme also offers over 30 adventure activities from water based adventure activities; to sky diving; and mountain trekking. If you think of yourself as more of a ‘petrol head’, then there are plenty of options for you with Team Xtreme, including Go Karting and high speed car experiences. For example you are given unrivalled access to Ronda’s exclusive, private race track for the drive of your life, with a Ferrari, Lamborghini or even a Formula three race car! The private, exclusive Ronda race track is amongst the most stunning race circuits in the world. Hidden within an oak forest and protected by a mountain range, it is a motorsports enthusiast’s dream come true.

If something of a slower pace is more your style, then consider a balloon ride over Ronda or trekking tour in the mountains.
