Active Edge Paragliding And Paramotoring

read moreA Paramotor is a foot-launched Powered Paraglider. The small, lightweight engine drives a propeller; the unit is strapped to your back with a harness that allows you to fly beneath a standard paragliding wing. It's the cheapest form of powered flying, allowing pilots to take off from a local flat field rather than an expensive and unnecessary airfield. Once airborne, the paramotor can be used to motor along and watch the world go by beneath you, or if conditions permit, soar in a thermal lift to make long cross country flights.

The rolling hills and open moors provide gentle slopes and unobstructed landscapes for teaching beginners. In contrast, long ridges and beautiful countryside offer the perfect setting for soaring and cross country flight. There's something surreal about flying over this green and stunning landscape; a privilege that so few experience. Active Edge uses many of its own un-crowded sites and some of the local Paragliding club sites.
