Activity description

Discover the iconic Costa Degli Dei (Coast of the Gods) on this tandem paragliding flight along the mythical Pizzo Calabro shoreline.

An ancient city that unlocks Southern Italy's cultural charm, explore the Greek stronghold of Pizzo Calabro and admire the beauty of the Tyrrhenian coast from the sky with scenic paragliding flights along Vibo Valentia - circling the Chiesetta di Piedigrotta and other historical landmarks along the way.

Spot
Situated on the coastline that separates Southern Italy from Sicily, Reggio Calabria is renowned as a port crossing across the Tyrrhenian Sea and bordered by the Aspromonte National Park. With strong historical and cultural ties, the coastal region is part of the popular Costa Degli Dei ('Coast of the Gods') and the picturesque resort of Tropea.

Activity
Travelling inland to a mountain vantage point 320m above sea level, this 30-minute tandem paragliding flight will span the Tyrrhenian coast of Calabria, gliding high above Pizzo and the wonderful Costa degli Dei. Scan the coastline to the neighbouring Sicilian shoreline and relax mid-air, taking in the views.

Conditions
Operating during the dry and consistently warm summer season, the moderating influence of the sea and the protection given by the Alpine barrier from the cold north winds give Italy a nice temperate climate - offering seasonal and variable warm fronts.
