Paragliding on La Palma
La Palma, UNESCO world biosphere reserve and La Isla Bonita in the Atlantic ocean


Information
Paragliding on La Palma can be demanding, not because of strong thermals, but because of possible rapid meteorologic changes. La Palma is therefore not an ideal spot for beginners without Guide. If you want to fly here without school or guide, you have to have beside flying skills also profound meteorological knowledge.

Best time for flying on la Palma is in the winter months from September till April/May. Most of the days we are flying leeside of the mountains. Weather situation can change rapidly. With experience, those changes can be seen in advance.
Winds might be strong so backward starting technique sometimes is a must. If you have enough experience to fly on your own, still ask the local pilots or in the paragliding school Palmaclub for additional information.

Download the leaflet with heaps of information.

Enjoy your stay on this beautiful island and always

Happy Landing!

GuideService is now history:

Due to the fact that the paragliding school was closed from 2021 to 2024 as a result of the volcanic eruption, I have decided in Spring 2024 with a still unclear future to not restart again from scratch and no longer offer the guide service. So La Palma is once again the island of free flyers who must already have some flying experience and confidence in assessing the weather situation.
Palmaclub plans a  shuttle service for paragliding pilots after reopening.
