The story of paragliding in Gudauri

Gudauri's high, open slopes and steady winds make it one of the best places in Georgia for paragliding. Tandem pilots take passengers with no experience on flights over the valleys.

In winter you glide above ski slopes and snowy peaks; in summer over green meadows and the Devil's Valley near the Friendship Monument.
