Brasov Family Paragliding: Simultaneous Tandem Flight for the Whole Family
Brasov Family Paragliding – Simultaneous Tandem Flight is the aerial adventure package designed specifically for families: all members take off at the same time from Mount Postăvaru, each in tandem with their own licensed pilot, and glide together above the Poiana Brasov valley. There's no other moment quite like watching each other from the air, feeling the same wind current, and sharing the same rush at the same time — that's what makes this experience truly unique compared to a standard paragliding flight.
What Simultaneous Flight Means and Why It Matters
Unlike classic packages where each passenger flies one at a time, Brasov Family Paragliding involves a simultaneous takeoff: mom, dad, kids, and grandparents — all airborne at the same time, just seconds apart from one another. You can admire each other mid-flight, wave from the sky, and live the same experience together rather than waiting for your turn. Up to 3 paragliders can take off simultaneously from the Bunloc launch platform; for larger groups, two consecutive rounds are organised.
Who Can Join the Brasov Family Paragliding Experience
This experience is open to virtually everyone: there's no minimum age, only a minimum weight of 30 kg. The upper limit is 100 kg per passenger. Children must be accompanied by a parent or present written parental consent. The only physical requirement is to be in good general health and able to run a few steps at takeoff — your instructor will guide you every step of the way. Flights with children take place only in the morning, between 09:00 and 12:00, when wind conditions are typically calm.
What's Included in the Brasov Family Paragliding Package
- Tandem flight with a licensed pilot (10–15 minutes in the air)
- Full pre-flight briefing on the ground
- Certified and approved equipment: paraglider, impact-protection harness, helmet, and reserve parachute
- Individual flight footage for each participant (link sent after landing)
- Coordinated simultaneous takeoff for all family members
The displayed price is per person. The cable car or chairlift is not included in the package. The activity takes place at Postăvaru, Poiana Brasov.
How the Experience Unfolds Step by Step
- 1. Ground preparation — Upon arrival, all pilots introduce themselves to the family and explain the takeoff procedure. Equipment is checked and each passenger is geared up individually.
- 2. Ascent to the launch site — The group heads up together to the Bunloc platform (included in the total duration of approximately 60 minutes).
- 3. Simultaneous takeoff — Pilots coordinate the launch a few seconds apart so that all passengers are airborne at the same time.
- 4. The flight — 10–15 minutes above the valley, with a sweeping panoramic view of Poiana Brasov and the Bucegi mountains. The pilot tailors the flight to each passenger's preference: smooth and relaxed or dynamic and thrilling.
- 5. Landing — A gentle landing in a designated landing zone.
- 6. Flight footage — Each participant receives a personal link with their own flight video, included in the package price.
Safety of Tandem Paragliding
All pilots are licensed to fly with passengers, have a minimum of 8 years of experience, and at least 1,000 flights completed. The equipment used — paraglider, impact-protection harness, helmet, and reserve parachute — is fully certified and approved. Passengers may request to inspect the equipment and the pilot's licence at any time. If weather conditions are not optimal, the pilot has the right to postpone or cancel the flight.
Is Paragliding Safe for Children?
Yes, tandem paragliding is safe for children who weigh at least 30 kg, as the licensed pilot has full control of the paraglider at all times. Flights with children are scheduled exclusively in the morning (09:00–12:00), when wind conditions are stable. Children fly alongside their own dedicated pilot, a parent can be airborne at the same time on an adjacent paraglider, and all instructions are covered in a thorough pre-flight briefing.
What Happens If the Weather Is Bad on the Day of the Booking?
If weather conditions on the reserved day do not allow for a safe flight, the activity will be rescheduled by mutual agreement with the operator at no extra cost. The pilot assesses conditions on the morning of the flight and notifies the group in good time. The voucher remains valid for the new agreed date, within the 6-month validity period.
Memories You'll Revisit for Years to Come
Once the adrenaline settles, each participant receives a link to their own flight video — captured from the pilot's perspective, with a full panoramic view of Brasov and every real-time emotion on display. These are visual memories you can revisit anytime and share with the wider family. The footage is included in the package price, with no hidden costs.
