About the club
Phoenix Paragliding is one of the top Macedonian paragliding clubs. Founded in 2014, the club has quickly become a synonym of aerial excitement and adventure.
We, the members of the club, pride ourselves on providing safe flights with utmost attention and care for our passengers. For us, security and safety always come first, therefore each flight is carried out only when the weather conditions allow for a safe and smooth sky gliding. Committed to the world-established rules and principles of tandem paragliding, we approach each flight with a maximum concentration and carefulness. Our precautionary measures include a firm helmet for the passenger, and a tight and strongly secured, yet extremely comfortable seat to relax and enjoy the vista.
Led by the strong belief that life is counted by the experiences that steal your breath, our remarkable experienced pilot will deliver the flights that will make the passenger’s heart skip a beat.
Moreover, for the more free-spirited ones who dream of enjoying paragliding as soloists, Phoenix Paragliding offers paragliding courses to master the basic and advanced paragliding rules and techniques for adventures, yet perfectly safe solo flights.
Whether you are in for a learning adventure, or you just want to dive into the sky, with Phoenix Paragliding you are about to give your life a new, more exciting dimension.
