Tandem Paraglide

1 Hour Tour     Price: $195.00

Your incredible adventure begins by taking a breathtaking 1-hour drive along the Turnagain Arm on your way to Girdwood to become a student pilot! Start your adventure by getting yourself to the tram ticket window at the Alyeska Prince Resort located in Girdwood, Alaska. You will let the ticket window know you are there for paragliding and they will call “up” the mountain, usually on the radio. The ticket window will issue a tram pass and send you to the top where the vendor has a shop. You will be met and will proceed to fill out a waiver form and then you will watch a short video on what the vendor is about to do and how to do it, discussing specific safety items. Once this is all done they will grab the gear you will need and go out to the appropriate launch site (all of this is weather dependent). They will get you all set up and explain your preflight and the equipment and when everything is ready and the conditions are good, you will take-off and during the flight you can take the controls and learn to steer and speed up and slow down. You can take pictures or your tandem partner will take some awesome photos for you and sometimes video. The Alyeska Prince Resort has been rated as one of the top 10 scenic views from any ski resort in the US. Seven glaciers can be seen from the summit of Mt. Alyeska If you should choose to have your tandem partner take some spectacular photos of you they will be available for purchase upon completion of your tour.
