Sopelana Experience Flight

Schedules and Calendar

The Sopelana flying season is between March and September , which is when the ideal wind conditions for paragliding are found. Flight times typically begin around 1:00 PM, when the sea breeze begins to blow, and end around 7:30/8:00 PM. Although in autumn and winter you may occasionally see a paraglider flying over the coast, good flying days are very rare, as the southerly winds and rain predominate, making paragliding over the Basque coast impossible.

Weather conditions required for paragliding in Sopelana.

If you want to know what the paragliding conditions are like in Sopelana, read our article: Windguru Sopelana and we'll explain everything.

What to bring on the day of the flight

All you need is comfortable, closed-toe shoes and something warm for the flight. Even if it's hot on the ground, a sweater or sweatshirt is usually necessary during the flight to keep warm.

If your flight doesn't include an SD card and you want to record video, you must bring a minimum 8GB Class 10 micro SD card. (The company is not responsible for recordings on cards not purchased through the company.)

Cancellations and Date Changes

If the flight is canceled due to weather conditions, it will be rescheduled for another day or the amount paid for the reservation will be refunded.

If you've already booked your paragliding flight date and time, you can reschedule up to 24 hours in advance directly from the website or by contacting us via WhatsApp.

What happens if the wind doesn't support you?

There are days when the weather seems good—sunshine, pleasant temperatures—but the wind in Sopelana isn't just right. In those cases, we don't fly , and this isn't a whim. It's part of our commitment to the safety and quality of the experience.

In fact, many people are surprised to learn that we don't fly "whenever possible," but only when conditions are optimal . We don't come here to "sell flights"; we come to enjoy the sky with you, whenever the sky allows.
