Paragliding club Extreme Team Tampere offers the opportunity to take a ride on a paraglider near Tampere, above Lake Näsijärvi. The experience flight gives you a great first introduction to the world of flying, and you get to experience the views from a bird’s-eye height. The experience flight is suitable for anyone in basic good health. Extreme Team Tampere is the only operator in Finland to safely organize tandem paragliding tow launches 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 an experienced and trained tandem pilot takes care of the flying itself. If you wish, you can also try what it feels like to steer a paraglider. If you are a true adrenaline lover, the pilot can also perform maneuvers where you can experience g-forces.
If this experience gets you excited about the sport, you can continue your journey as a student of the paragliding club toward becoming an independent pilot. Courses are available at several levels: as a beginner course, an independent pilot course, and an advanced course.
Paragliding club Extreme Team is located in Santalahdenpuisto in Tampere.
