   The ride up

   You take the Kanzel cable car from the foot of the Bradul ski slope up to 1,800 m. The ride takes about 10 minutes and drops you right at take-off — no walking.

   The pilot briefly explains everything you need to do. At take-off you just take a few steps, and then you're in the air.

   The flight

   The flight lasts about 2 hours. A cross-country flight: we climb in thermals over the Postăvaru massif and fly all the way to the Piatra Mare massif, where we land and take in the view. Then we take off again and fly over the Noua district.

5. 05

   Landing

   We land at Bunloc or near the Carrefour store. The ride back to your car is on us. You get your photos and video on WhatsApp, through a personal link.

For anyone who has flown tandem before and wants to go further: hours in the air, from one massif to the next.

• Weight: 30–85 kg for the person flying.
• Required: you need to have done a tandem paragliding flight before.

Location

We take off near Postăvaru Peak, at 1,800 m, above the Poiana Brașov ski resort. We usually meet at the gondola base station in Poiana Brașov. We confirm the exact spot when you book — it depends on whether the gondola or the Kanzel cable car is running on the day of your flight.

Everything about the flying area is on our page about paragliding in Poiana Brașov: how to get to take-off and where you land.
