About Us
- ›Paragliding above Marrakech is far more than a sport — it is an adventure that shows you Morocco from an angle no road can reach.
- ›You take off from the flying sites around Aguergour, in the Ouzguita hills close to Lalla Takerkoust, and within seconds the ground drops away: red slopes, patchwork fields, olive groves and the turquoise water of the Lalla Takerkoust lake open up beneath your feet, with the peaks of the High Atlas on the horizon.
- ›Every flight is a tandem flight.
- ›You are securely attached to an experienced, certified pilot who handles the take-off, the flight and the landing — all you have to do is sit back and take in the view.
- ›Before you leave the ground your pilot fits your harness and helmet, checks the equipment and walks you through every step, so first-timers feel comfortable from the start.
- ›Beginners, families and nervous flyers are just as welcome as people who have flown before, and there is nothing to learn in advance.
- ›You fly with a local team based at Aguergour with more than ten years of experience, certified pilots and equipment inspected before every flight — rated 4.9/5 on Google by more than 170 travellers.
- ›Flights depend entirely on the weather and daily slots are limited, so your exact meeting time is confirmed with you once your date is booked.
- ›Professional photos and videos of your own flight are available as an optional extra.
Experience Itinerary
-
1
Meeting at the Aguergour flying site
- ›You meet the team at the take-off site above Aguergour, in the Ouzguita hills near Lalla Takerkoust, a short drive south-west of Marrakech.
- ›The pilots check the wind and the conditions of the day and choose the launch that suits them best.
- ›Your exact meeting time is confirmed with you the day before, because everything depends on the weather.
-

Safety briefing and gear fitting
- ›Your pilot fits your harness and helmet, checks the wing and the lines, and explains exactly what will happen: how to run a few steps at take-off, how to sit back once you are in the air, and how to place your feet for landing.
- ›Nothing is technical and no preparation is needed — you only have to listen and relax.

Take-off and flight over the Atlas
- ›A few steps down the slope and the wing lifts you off the ground — the moment everyone remembers.
- ›Then it goes quiet.
- ›You glide along the ridges with the red hills, the fields and the lake of Lalla Takerkoust below you and the High Atlas in the distance.
- ›If you like it calm, the pilot keeps it smooth; if you want a few turns and some sensation, just ask before take-off.

Landing, photos and mint tea
- ›The pilot brings you down gently on the landing field, where the ground crew is waiting to fold the wing.
- ›You take your time for photos with the mountains behind you before heading back.
- ›If you booked the photo and video pack, your pilot films the whole flight from a pole camera and you receive the files after landing.
