Paragliding is a free-flight sport performed with the help of a light and portable wing. The pilot typically takes off by running from the slope of a mountain or hill and can stay airborne for extended periods using suitable air currents. <\/p>\n

The best part of this sport is that it can be done in harmony with nature, without the need for a special runway or engine. As long as there is suitable wind and altitude, flights are possible from almost any slope. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
