TANDEM PARAGLIDE WITH AMERICA’S TOP-GUN PILOTS AT PARK CITY PARAGLIDING
The surreal becomes the real with an eagle’s-eye view of the epic scenery surrounding Park City and Deer Valley.
Park City Paragliding thrills visitors with extraordinary vistas and in-your-face thrills while safely tandem paragliding above the Jordanelle Reservoir, located just 15 minutes from Park City’s historic Main Street.
This is no scare-your-mother day in the sky. You fly with a cracker-jack pilot in a daddy-like-chair harness yielding see-forever views.
Owned and operated by internationally renowned paraglider pilot Chris Santacroce, Park City Paragliding thrills young and old with incomparable paragliding.
The sun-bleached blue Utah sky is a huge sandbox for some of the best pilots in the world and you ride tandem with them under a colorful, state-of-the-art wing.
You might have seen really cool tandem paragliding in the European Alps, or Aspen or La Jolla. But Park City Paragliding is mind blowing. And you don’t have to be an athlete.
Rather than run off a mountain, at Park City Paragliding you are towed on a cable by a specially equipped speed boat to a dizzying 3,000 feet over the water.
Don’t mistake this for mini-airtime parasailing along the heat-slugged Mexican Riviera.
At Park City Paragliding the cable is released at the glider and you and the pilot ride the winds to a gentle landing back in the grassy takeoff meadow.
The pilot will even let you take the controls. And if you’re up for some razzle-dazzle, and you want to taste your heart in your throat served with some way-out-there commitment, tell the can-do pilot you’ve got a hankering for some aerial acrobatics.
It’s a breathtaking experience meant for Imax. You’ll remember it all your life. Bring the entire family.
Park City Paragliding, which has an impeccable safety record, operates from the Jordanelle boat ramp (include a map sketch somewhere) April to October, Monday to Friday, 7 a.m. to noon. The cost is $225. Gift certificates are available.
