New Flying Zone near Marrakech

We have opened a new flying zone about 30 minutes from Marrakech, with a take-off at 1,800 metres above sea level and spectacular views of the High Atlas. It is good news for those who want to paraglide without going too far from the city while enjoying a first-class mountain landscape.

In this news item we tell you what to expect from the new zone, how to prepare for your first visit and what is worth knowing before you book. The details of each day always depend on the weather, so we recommend checking the forecast before you come.

A zone near Marrakech with a mountain feel

Being about 30 minutes from Marrakech makes the trip easy: you can leave after breakfast, fly and be back in the city the same day. The take-off altitude of 1,800 metres allows a flight with plenty of range over the valley and a wide view of the High Atlas peaks.

The landscape changes a lot with the morning or afternoon light, and it often becomes one of the most special memories of a trip to Morocco.

What to expect from the flight

The tandem paragliding flight is designed for people who have never flown. A certified pilot takes care of everything: he prepares the equipment, explains the take-off steps and controls the flight from start to finish. You only have to follow his instructions during the take-off run and then sit back, relax and enjoy.

The duration and route depend on the conditions of the day. With thermal air the flight can be longer; with calmer air, the descent is smooth and unhurried, ideal for taking photos and admiring the landscape.

How to prepare for your visit

Wear comfortable layered clothing, because at altitude it is colder than in the city, and closed shoes that hold the foot well, such as trainers or light boots. Sunglasses, sun cream and a bottle of water are always good ideas.

Safety depends on the wind and the weather. If the day is not suitable, the pilot may suggest changing the time or date of the flight. It is a decision made with you in mind, which is why it is best to book with some flexibility.

When is the best time to visit the zone

Morocco has a climate that allows flying for a good part of the year, but each season has its own character. In spring and autumn temperatures are mild and the air is usually pleasant; in summer it is best to fly early, when it is less hot; and in winter the days are shorter and it can be cold in the mountains, although in good weather the views of the snowy Atlas are unforgettable.

Always check the day's weather on the zone page before you come: wind and visibility decide whether it is possible to fly.

Conclusion: The new zone adds one more option for flying near Marrakech with the club's team. If you want to get to know it, check the zone page, look at the day's weather and write to us to book.
