Paragliding with a mountain view (Bianzone, SO)

Where
Bianzone (SO)

Over the years, Bianzone in Valtellina has become a go-to location for paragliding enthusiasts. With its ideal conditions for take off, it offers a unique opportunity for those who want an experience with an adrenaline rush and at the same time, the feel of the freedom between the earth and the sky. 

 

Taking off at some 1.620 metres, paragliding from Bianzone allows you to fly over the whole valley, with spectacular views of the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Tirano and the area’s typical terraced vineyards. The experience lasts for 15-20 minutes. It takes just a little courage and a short sprint that will leave you, almost suddenly, in flight. From there, you can enjoy the panorama, as you glide gently, or if you are feeling a little more daring, while you try out acrobatics in the air. 

The generally good weather conditions in the area, with stable currents and gentle winds, make this a privileged starting point for free flight. Even on cooler days, the air is crisp and crystal clear, offering perfect visibility for admiring the countryside below. This activity is also available to people with no experience, thanks to the possibility to fly in tandem with professional pilots, who will help them experience paragliding in complete safety.

Flight has become increasingly important in Bianzone, being seen not just as a sport but also as an opportunity to get together, and the first edition of the Festival del Volo [Festival of Flight], held in 2024, is vibrant evidence of this. Promoted by the municipality and by different local associations and volunteers, the Festival attracts the spectators and sports enthusiasts, transforming the town into a meeting point between the sky and the earth, adrenaline and relaxation.
