Flight is the innate wish of man and,
in San Giuliano, this dream became truth

San Giuliano, the small mountain separating Pisa from Lucca,
has been, for a long time, the centre of an extremely charming sporting activity, the free flight!

San Giuliano offers a take-off with an altitude of 550 ft, with the landing almost at sea level.

In truth, for those who regularly fly, it isn’t a high altitude but, thanks to the orography of the ground, the distribution of the vegetation and the configuration of the local winds with the typical breeze of sea, it is possible to easily reach an altitude of 2,400 ft.

In more difficult conditions, choosing the best day and time for take-off is imperative.

The more popular aerial sport in San Giuliano Terme is paragliding.

Paragliding is the simplest aerial sport with the smallest amount of equipment required, but also one of the safest.

A modern paraglider (especially a basic or an intermediate one) is, in fact, a self-stabilising wing that can recover unusual configurations without a pilot’s intervention.

Flying with a paraglider is one of the most exciting flights one can have.

Feeling the air definitively, the power of thermals and the wind is a stunning experience.

So surprising that often, after a tandem flight with our teacher Walter, the only thing you can do is to start learning to flight on your own.
