Paragliding club Extreme Team Tampere offers the opportunity to ride in a paraglider near Tampere, above Lake Näsijärvi. The experience flight provides a great first introduction to the world of flying, and you will get to enjoy the views from a bird’s-eye height. The experience flight is suitable for anyone who is in basic good health. Extreme Team Tampere is the only operator in Finland to organize paragliding tandem records safely over water.
The approximately one-hour introductory course includes, in addition to the experience flight, instruction for the flight, the paragliding equipment, and the principles of flying. In practice, the glider is towed into the air by boat to an altitude of 600-800 meters while admiring the scenery, after which the tow rope is released and the actual flying begins. Your only task is to enjoy the views, while the actual flying is taken care of by an experienced and trained tandem pilot. If you wish, you can also try what it feels like to steer the paraglider. If you truly love adrenaline, the pilot can also perform tricks where you can experience G-forces.
If, after this experience, you become excited about the sport, you can continue your journey as a student of the paragliding club towards becoming an independent pilot. Courses are available at several levels: beginner course, independent pilot course, and advanced course.
Paragliding club Extreme Team is located in Tampere in Santalahti Park.
