Cimetta, the mountain on Locarno and the Lago Maggiore!
Why should you go for a paragliding tandem flight from Cimetta?
Because it is simply the best flying experience one can ever imagine!!! Mountains, forests, cities, lakes in a wonderful scenery, a truly unique panorama to be seen from the bird's-eye view. Don't miss this great opportunity and come to Locarno for the best flying site in Ticino and let us glide you through pure emotions! Public transportation departures directly from Locarno city: the old but so nice cable railway is located only few meters from the main train station. From Orselina 495m you continue to climb the mountain by cable car to Cardada 1340m and further to the summit at Cimetta 1670m. Paragliding takeoff in Cimetta is located near a restaurant with splendid view and easily accessible from the chair-lift station. The large altitude span of 1450m assures marvelous airtimes lasting at least 20 minutes, with some thermics even longer! Enjoy gliding smoothly over the city at the Lago Maggiore... Have you ever experienced the Piazza Grande from above? In summer or in winter, it's always a great surprise!!! Our personal suggestion: during the "Moon and Stars" flying over the concerts is an incredible event!
And last but not least, landing at the beach of Locarno Delta, what a scenery! Don't forget your swimsuit for a refreshing jump into the river Maggia!
