Paragliding is an amazing experience. Many compare it to a slow bungee jump over a cliff while some say it is similar to the feeling of flying -- or at least as close as humans could possibly experience it. Below are five places considered the best for paragliding this 2017.
Switzerland is the home of the Alps and home-styled skiing villages considered family-friendly and beautiful. In Wengen, Switzerland and its UNESCO-protected Jungfrau-Aletsch is endless paragliding for travelers needing a bit of aviary adrenaline rush. Ride the mountain cable cars and enjoy the flight down, then do it again!
According to Ranker, for Americans, the Grand Canyon will never grow old. While it is still not allowed to paraglide in the canyon premises, around the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is a paragliding venue. Indeed, it would be death defying to paraglide around the Grand Canyon, but a daredevil might just make it.
In Hawaii are paragliding platforms over 3,000 feet in the air with amazing, breathtaking views. When in Maui, do not forget to ask around for awesome paragliding with views of the forestry, clouds and villages. Of course, there is the amazing sensation of flying for a very long time, about 15 minutes in particular.
According to Places You See In Your Lifetime, New Zealand is another amazing destination notably for the Southern Alps. Atop these mountains are town resorts that have platforms offering paragliding. The views of the Southern Alps are stunning especially when one is floating in the air having an actual bird's-eye-view of things.
Lastly, there is Italy and its Castelluccio in Umbria. Atop a high mountain is Castelluccio village featuring amazing natural hikes and climbs. Of course, there is the amazing downward paragliding flight that lasts for more than 20 minutes.
