It was a spot decision to try paragliding and I'm so glad we've done it. G Force is a young and fun team; our guides give us a detailed briefing on the procedures, keeping up the spirit with jokes and chit chats. To my surprise paragliding couldn't be much easier - we simply walked from the cliff and start flying!... More

I'd recommend G Force Paragliding to anyone. I'm afraid of heights but found the courage to try this and I'm so glad I did. It was super easy to sign up, no pressure, no waiting, and we got a beautiful day. Clark was an awesome pilot and a real good guy to fly with. He made the 8 minute trip... More

I can't express in words how much I loved this experience, there was no sense of falling as we ran off the edge of the mountain! My guide was fantastic, he calmed my nerves and I felt so comfortable that half way down I agreed to a bit of a faster ride, originally I was totally convinced I just wanted... More

We my husband (age 75) and I (age 71) took the Gondola ride and lunch package with the intentions of walking around at the top of Mt Bob and then having the lovely buffet lunch. While there enjoying the beautiful surrounding, we watched those brave souls who were tandem paragliding. I still can't believe we did it but before we... More

My husband and 12 year old both went paragliding (our 7 year old did not weigh enough to go). The guides that took them up were great. My 12 year old smiled the entire way (I know because they give you a video and lots of pictures at the end - all included in the original price, which is a... More
