Fly Like A Bird
High Atlas Paragliding
Experience the thrill of human flight as you soar above the stunning Atlas Mountains on a tandem paragliding adventure. No experience needed—your certified pilot handles everything while you take in views that will take your breath away.
Flying Over the Atlas
Launch from the village of Aguergour at an altitude of 1,300 meters and glide through the clear Moroccan skies. Below you, the landscape unfolds like a living map—the rocky Agafay Desert, traditional Berber villages with their earthen buildings, green oases, and the majestic Atlas peaks stretching to the horizon.
Safe & Accessible
Tandem paragliding is one of the safest adventure activities. You're securely harnessed to your experienced pilot, who manages the glider while you simply enjoy the ride. The takeoff is gentle—just a few running steps and you're floating. Landing is equally smooth, with your pilot guiding you to a soft touchdown.
Your Pilot
All our pilots are certified professionals with thousands of flights under their belts. They know the local conditions intimately and choose the best routes based on wind and thermals. Whether you want a peaceful, scenic flight or some adrenaline-pumping maneuvers, they can accommodate your preferences.
The Experience
The actual flight time varies from 15 to 30 minutes depending on weather conditions and thermals. But those minutes feel timeless—floating silently through the air, with only the wind in your ears and incredible views in every direction. It's an experience that stays with you forever.
Capture the Memory
Every flight includes a GoPro video recording, so you can relive your adventure and share it with friends and family. Your pilot positions the camera to capture both the stunning scenery and your reactions.
Best Conditions
Paragliding in the High Atlas is possible year-round, but the ideal season is September through May when winds are most favorable. Flights are typically scheduled in the morning or late afternoon when air currents are smoothest.
