What is Landing like?
Landing is a very simple task. Your pilot will make a small talk just before making the final approach. Basically it will only ask you to stand up at the last second of landing. You will start making small turns and start moving towards the set goal. Pilots brake fully when approaching the ground to ensure a smooth landing. Simply stand up and walk when instructed by the instructor.
What to wear for paragliding?
Wear sport shoes for paragliding flights. Short sleeved clothing is good throughout summer but sleeve length clothing is more suitable during the winter. Long pants are usually recommended for those who have to land slightly harder, so the knee/foot will not get scratched. It will certainly not happen to you, just for your own safety. Sunglasses will be extremely helpful too!
