The catalogue

Seven ways to leave the ground

Ordered by altitude — from four thousand metres down to below sea level. We show a price only where we run the experience ourselves; everything else is quoted per person once we have your dates.

Cards without a photograph are experiences run by partners whose own footage we are still shooting. We would rather show you a number than someone else's stock image.

Why us and not a marketplace

Here you meet the pilot.

On a marketplace you buy a ticket from someone who has never met the operator. We are the operator.

Parapendio Roma has been teaching people to fly since 2001 — twenty-five years, a five-star average across 219 reviews, and the number one position in Rome. When you book a tandem flight with us, you are not buying a voucher that gets forwarded to a stranger. You are flying with the school itself.
