How to dress for a paragliding flight?
For a paragliding flight in Marrakech (or anywhere else), the key is to dress for comfort, safety, and the weather conditions at altitude. Here are the main guidelines:
👕 Clothing:
Comfortable sportswear – avoid tight or restrictive clothing.
Layers – it’s usually cooler in the air than on the ground. A light jacket, fleece, or windbreaker is ideal.
Long sleeves & pants – protect against sun, wind, and potential scrapes during takeoff/landing.
👟 Footwear
Closed-toe shoes are essential (hiking shoes, trail runners, or sturdy sneakers).
Avoid sandals, flip-flops, or heels.
🧢 Accessories:
Sunglasses (with a strap if possible) to protect from sun and wind.
Gloves (optional) – useful if flying in colder months or higher altitudes.
Sunscreen & hat/cap before the flight – Marrakech sun can be intense.
🎒 Extra Tips:
Don’t bring loose items (scarves, jewelry, caps without straps) – they can fly off.
Tie back long hair securely.
Wear something you don’t mind getting a bit dusty (especially in desert or mountain takeoffs).
What is the maximum age to fly a paraglider?
🧓 Maximum Age for Paragliding
There is no strict maximum age limit for tandem paragliding flights.
What matters most is general health and mobility: you should be able to jog a few steps for takeoff and landing.
Many operators in Morocco and elsewhere welcome passengers in their 60s, 70s, or even older, provided they don’t have serious heart, back, or mobility problems.
Always check with your doctor if you have health concerns, and inform the pilot about any medical conditions.
What is the minimum weight to make a paragliding flight?
⚖️ Minimum (and Maximum) Weight for Paragliding
Minimum weight: usually around 25–30 kg (55–65 lbs) – this is why children can sometimes fly, but only if they meet the weight requirement.
Maximum weight: typically between 100–120 kg (220–265 lbs), depending on the equipment and local regulations.
These limits ensure the glider performs safely and the pilot can control the flight properly.
