Had a great week in Algodonales doing a paragliding EP course with the ultimate professionals at Zero Gravity... Went from zero to hero including my first solo off a 900m... read more mountain (!), multiple smaller flights and strolling through the exam on the last day... An incredible introduction to an amazing sport...

Excellent teachers with focus on safety while still having fun

Fantastic week flying with Zero Gravity in Algodonales. A great time flying XC in the area. Very professional outfit with the most knowledgeable guides and instructors in the area.... read more I booked accommodation through Zero Gravity and stayed at the Owl and The Moon apartment which is owned by Jorge - everything we needed and a great place to stay. I’ll be back next year. Thanks for everything!

Had a really good time flying with o gravity great guys and made the week fun!

My husband and I have just spent a brilliant two weeks with the fantastic Zero Gravity team doing our EP and CP qualifications, back to back. We could not recommend... read more them highly enough, they have been absolutely amazing. All the team are extremely knowledgeable with many, many years experience of paragliding each, but they are also excellent teachers and make the complicated concepts of flight and meteorology accessible at an entry level; a combination of skills which is rare. The courses are a mixture of theory and practical sessions with tandem flights used in the early sessions which really builds confidence when you then take to the sky solo. Safety is given top priority with multiple kit and radio checks and the guys go the extra mile to find the best conditions for your level. We flew from five different sites during our two week stay, completing 14 solo flights each. Be prepared for long days (often starting at 8-9am, with a couple of hours for lunch, and finishing at 8-9pm if the conditions are right) - the focus is always on getting you in the air, safely. Our top tips for beginners would be to bring gloves, a wind proof and long trousers / long sleeved tops as you will get some scrapes and bruises and it can be chilly at the top of the mountains. Above all though, you will have a lot of fun and we both want to say a big THANK YOU to José, Pablo, Luisma, Javi & Ivan for a fantastic two weeks!

Three things will (most likely) happen after you learn with Zero Gravity (1) you will fly - solo! (2) you will find your tribe (3) you will want to come... read more back to Zero Gravity. And soon! Optional 4): for many crazy ones like us, you will find yourself getting addicted to ZG‘s team are big on safety, teach amazingly and are SO motivated to help their students learn well, enjoy their flight while being safe. It doesn’t get better than Algodonales in Spain and ZG are the local eagles 🦅 They know their terrain, have eons of experience and are deeply dedicated. An example would be - when the weather conditions don’t permit closer flying sites, the guys will drive you two hours away to the coast if it is flyable there! 🙏🏼🙌🏼 “Who are these mysterious local rockstars” you ask? José, Luisma, Jorge, Iván, George :) 🤩 Despite the tangible techniques that one learns on the skill, there is something about paragliding that makes it gloriously esoteric ❤️ Even for the least spiritual of us - flying without an engine will make us feel alive; we grab the ephemeral even if for a few minutes. And move outside a comfort zone that is both exciting and yet strangely comfortable. Final words: You‘ve got to experience it! It is beautiful and simply epic with Zero Gravity. (ps: no commissions awarded for this review, I promise) 😄 And lift- off!
