Do I need experience to paraglide?
No. Every flight is tandem with a certified pilot. You run a few steps and the mountain does the rest.
What if the weather cancels the flight?
Flights depend on wind. If Billing is closed for all days of the trip, the paragliding portion is simply not charged since it is paid on site.
