Preparation
Planning your flight
If you want to experience a night glow flight, make sure to reserve your spot well in advance, particularly during busy periods around full moons in autumn.
Most operators stipulate that passengers should be reasonably fit and weigh less than 220 pounds.
Remember to dress warmly and wear sturdy footwear, as temperatures can get chilly after sunset.
Guidelines
Safety first
Safety is the number one priority in paragliding, especially for night flights.
Pilots are extremely well-trained and carry navigation lights and emergency communication tools.
You will be thoroughly briefed on safety measures, including how to take off and land, before your flight.
Please adhere to these instructions for a safe and enjoyable experience.
Flight
The experience
Launching from a hilltop, you will soar silently above moonlit forests and fields. The view of landscapes glowing under the gentle lunar caress is nothing short of enchanting.
Flights usually last 15 to 30 minutes, depending on weather conditions and thermal activity.
Do bring cameras or phones with night mode to immortalize this ethereal experience.
Reflections
After the adventure
After touching down, riders frequently congregate around steaming cups of cocoa or coffee, thoughtfully provided by many operators, to exchange stories and impressions under the twinkling expanse.
This pause for reflection and connection beneath the stars serves as the trip's emotional grounding point. It's a time that infuses the adventure with a profound sense of community, amplifying the experience with shared warmth and camaraderie under the night sky.
Advice
Tips for first-timers
If you are a first-time paraglider, it's okay to be scared.
Have faith in your pilot and concentrate on your breath to calm your nerves
Don't eat a heavy meal just before your flight; a light snack two hours before is okay
Most importantly, make sure your camera or phone is securely attached with a lanyard or strap so it doesn't become a safety hazard mid-flight.
