Paragliding and hang gliding in Val di Fassa
Floating in the air, free from the pull of gravity, leaving behind the constraints of space and its limits, rising above human conventions - only to realize that from up there, everything is possible once again. No more well-trodden paths, no distances keeping you apart - just endless Dolomite horizons opening up new perspectives. Where emptiness is not a void but air that lifts you, you can see without barriers, up close, what no one has ever seen from below. Live, with your own eyes.
Free flight over the Dolomites
Lifting your wing over the most stunning mountains in the world, in Val di Fassa, is an unforgettable experience. Soaring above the clouds, flying over Sassopiatto, Sassolungo, and Catinaccio, or even landing on Marmolada - all this is possible thanks to precise knowledge of the terrain and wind currents, combined with the expertise of seasoned professionals who share their skills with enthusiasts from all over the world. There are numerous take-off and landing sites in the Fassa Dolomites, but the most popular are Col Rodella above Campitello and Belvedere in Canazei - two panoramic locations of extraordinary beauty. In particular, late September and early October offer exceptional flying conditions, thanks to a unique microclimate created by high-pressure weather systems.
Fly Safely in Val di Fassa
Paragliding in the mountains is an experience accessible to everyone - through tandem flights. No special skills or prior experience are required, there are no age limits (even children can fly), and it is also possible for people with disabilities to enjoy this adventure. In Val di Fassa, you can fly at dawn or in the afternoon, using thermal updrafts for a longer flight, or take off at sunset for a spectacular end to the day. With Fassa Fly, you can even share the sky with two-time world champion Jimmy Pacher. Your entire flight experience will be recorded on an SD card, so you can relive the thrill of soaring above the world’s rooftop whenever you like.
Whether you are an experienced pilot or a first-time flyer, whether you want to discover a new perspective or simply embrace the pure joy of flight, contact Fassa Fly or visit the Sport Check Point offices for more information about tandem flights and training.
Did you know that vertigo disappears the moment your feet leave the ground? And that those who have flown at least once will always return to the skies - if only in memory - to recapture that energy with every new takeoff?
