Gudauri and Kazbegi — where most flights go

Every morning we check the forecast, the wind and the conditions on site. We confirm your exact flight zone — Gudauri or Kazbegi — the day before your flight.

Gudauri · ~75% of flightsKazbegi · ~25%

Gudauri — Home Base

~75% of flights2,100–3,006 m4+ launch sitesCable car accessYear-round

The big mountains create a remarkably stable microclimate here — Gudauri is flyable nearly year-round, and we fly almost every day. This is where our base, our team, and the Café Bar PILOT meeting point live.

Kazbegi — At the Foot of Mt. Kazbek

~25% of flights1,900–2,000 m2 launch sitesMt. Kazbek · 5,054 mMostly August

The valley's microclimate gives far fewer flyable days than Gudauri — the reliable windows are mostly in August. Flights here run on request, weather permitting.

🏔 Want to see the five-thousander? You will. Promise.

Mt. Kazbek (5,054 m) looks magnificent from a Gudauri flight too — same mountain, different angle, and only ~35 km between the zones. If Kazbegi weather says no on your day, grab our inexpensive Kazbegi → Gudauri transfer (it's right in the calculator) and fly the very same day. We'll know your exact zone the day before your flight.

For licensed pilots

Cross-country routes across Georgia

Tandem flights run from Gudauri and Kazbegi. Cross-country routes go much wider — three regions, three kinds of air, and open tracks to back it up.

FAQ

Everything to Know Before You Book

Paragliding is an activity with objective risks — which is exactly why our protocol is strict. The senior instructor makes the go/no-go call based on actual conditions on site, every tandem carries a reserve parachute, and every passenger is covered by an Aldagi insurance policy (liability + personal accident).

None at all. Before launch you get a 5–10 minute briefing, and at takeoff your entire job is to walk a few steps next to the pilot. The pilot does everything else. You handle the enjoying part.

Up to 80 kg is included in the price; 80–100 kg +100 GEL; 100–110 kg +150 GEL; 110–125 kg +250 GEL; over 125 kg we can't fly. Kids fly accompanied by a parent — message us on WhatsApp for details.

We only fly when conditions are right — no matter the schedule or the demand. If we cancel your flight, we offer a free reschedule to a date that suits both sides; if that does not work, the deposit is refunded less the transfer fee and any services already rendered.

Message us your flight and date on WhatsApp → the manager confirms your slot and sends a 95 GEL deposit invoice (Apple Pay / Google Pay / Bank of Georgia) → once paid, your booking is locked in. The slot is held for 60 minutes. The balance is paid on site.

Yes — GoPro Full HD video comes with every flight. Upgrades: GoPro 4K (+50), Insta360 5.7K (+50), photos (+50), DJI drone video (+149), drone photos (+99).

The meeting point is Café Bar PILOT, New Gudauri, Loft 1 (Plus Code FF9V+Q7). The Gudauri shuttle is included: we pick you up at your hotel, drive you to launch, and bring you back.

Closed shoes, windproof clothing for the season, and sunglasses. In winter — warm layers. Full details come with your booking confirmation.
