Aspen Paragliding

About

Aspen Paragliding operates out of Aspen, Colorado, offering tandem flights, lessons, and clinics for pilots of varying experience levels. The facility, owned by Alex Palmaz, is recognized as the first paragliding school in the US to offer tandems from a ski resort, beginning in 1990. Flights occur year-round, with operations scheduled for summer, winter, and fall. The typical flight duration is approximately two hours, including ground time, while actual in-air flight time averages 3000 feet of descent, taking at least 15 minutes depending on conditions. Launch sites include Aspen Mountain and Snowmass Mountain. Winter lessons require a Foot Pass for Aspen or a Ski Pass for Snowmass. The business is located at 426 South Spring St during the summer and provides parking. The activity is pet-friendly, and reservations are required via their website or by calling 970-925-6975.
