Extreme Team Tampere

Paragliding club Extreme Team Tampere offers the opportunity to take a paraglider ride over Lake Näsijärvi near Tampere. The adventure flight gives a good first contact with the world of flying, and you get to experience the views from a bird's eye view. The adventure flight is suitable for anyone who is in basic health. Extreme Team Tampere is the only one in Finland to organize tandem paragliding records safely over water.

The approximately hour-long introductory course includes not only an experience flight but also instruction in flying, paragliding equipment and the principles of flying. In practice, the glider is towed into the air by boat at an altitude of 600-800 meters, admiring the scenery, after which the tow rope is removed and the actual flying begins. Your only task is to enjoy the scenery and the actual flying is taken care of by an experienced and trained tandem pilot. If you want, you can also try out what it feels like to pilot a paraglider. If you are a real adrenaline junkie – the pilot can also do tricks where you can experience g-forces.

If after this experience you are enthusiastic about the sport – you can continue your journey as a student at a paragliding club towards becoming an independent pilot. Courses are offered at several levels: beginner course, independent pilot course and advanced course.

The Extreme Team paragliding club is located in Tampere, in Santalahdenpuisto.
