Bohinj – The Ultimate Paragliding Experience in Slovenia

If you’re searching for the best place to paraglide in Slovenia, Lake Bohinj is second to none. Nestled in the heart of the Triglav National Park, it offers panoramic views of the Julian Alps, crystal-clear waters, and lush forests that stretch as far as the eye can see.

Why Fly in Bohinj?

• Two incredible take-off points:
  ○ Vogel (1,650 m) – High-altitude takeoff with over 1,000 m of descent. Ideal for longer, scenic flights.
  ○ Vogar (1,050 m) – A lower but still spectacular launch spot with amazing views of Lake Bohinj.
• Consistent weather conditions from spring to autumn make Bohinj one of the most reliable flying spots in the country.
• Unmatched serenity: Far less crowded than other tourist destinations, Bohinj offers peace, beauty, and space to soar.

At LoopTeam, we fly here almost daily during the season and offer full transport, experienced tandem pilots, and optional photo/video packages so you can relive the flight again and again.
 
 

Lake Bled – A Fairytale from Above

Just a short drive from Bohinj, Lake Bled is another must-see from the sky. Famous for its island church and castle perched on a cliff, the views here are postcard-perfect.

From your take-off point, you’ll float above:

• The glacial lake with its iconic island
• Rolling hills and green meadows
• A panorama of Slovenia’s alpine region

LoopTeam offers Bled flights by appointment, depending on the weather and flying conditions. It’s a spectacular complement to your Bohinj adventure.

How to start paragliding?

If you want to try paragliding, you have two options:

1. Tandem flight – The fastest and safest way to experience paragliding for the first time. An experienced instructor will ensure a safe takeoff, flight, and landing.

Tandem paragliding is an incredible experience that allows you to enjoy flying without the need for prior training. During this flight, an experienced and trained pilot takes you through an amazing experience where you take to the air in a paraglider.

A paraglider is a special type of parachute that allows long flights by using thermal updrafts, similar to a glider. It flies without an engine, which means it is quiet and peaceful, and you can admire nature and scenery from a height. Tandem flights are particularly popular in hilly and mountainous areas where conditions are favourable for take-off and flying.
The flight usually lasts between 15 minutes and half an hour, depending on the weather conditions. Before the flight starts, the pilot will explain the basic procedures, including take-off and landing, but you can relax as the whole process is very safe.

If you are interested in this type of experience, it is advisable to choose a reliable provider with good reviews and experienced pilots.

Flying with Lucija was an indescribable experience. We shared the sky with the birds and our souls were replenished by the views of the rocky peaks and green valleys below us. As we flew over the lake, I was overwhelmed by the brilliance of the sun on the surface of the lake and the translucency of the lake water in its emerald-blue hues along the shore as we flew over it.

It meant a lot to me to be able to share my enchantment with Lucie, who seems to enjoy every flight and every job she does. This made my experience even better. It is evident that Lucija knows the terrain and the places where, in favourable conditions, she can catch the air current rising up and take you high, high… Lucija’s sensual approach and clear instructions in preparation for the flight give confidence. When she gives the signal to take off, you just run, and when you feel you’re in the air, you scream… and then you just surrender to an unforgettable experience…

Why did I start paragliding on my own? I have flown many times in tandem with experienced pilots from Loop Tandem Paragliding Bohinj.
The flights with Lucija and Mih, who are both instructors, impressed me so much that I started my training as a paraglider pilot under their mentorship.
Now I have been flying solo for two years and I immensely enjoy the peace and timelessness in the air.

Treat yourself to the experience of flying with incredible views of Lake Bohinj and the beautiful, snow-capped Alps.

Tandem paragliding is an unforgettable experience, especially for people who enjoy nature, mountains and adrenaline activities. Flying without a cockpit, being in genuine contact with nature and the wind is the feeling you get when you go paragliding.

When you’re up there, you realise that you’re living in a beautiful part of the world. You have views of beautiful hills, mountains, a lake, the Bohinj valley. Flying in the Triglav National Park is a truly special experience. Sometimes you get the feeling that you are in paradise! And that’s why it’s worth a try.
