Paragliding in Gudauri: flights from Kudebi and tandem over the Caucasus

Kudebi is a plateau at about 2,200 m above Gudauri, reachable by cable car. From here, paragliding opens views of the Caucasus ridge and the Aragvi valley. Conditions are special: high-altitude thermals, stable morning wind and technically beautiful flight lines. In winter, experienced pilots fly over white slopes in both snowy and clear weather.

In summer Kudebi is the classic tandem flight launch over the green valley. The season is effectively year-round, peaking December–March (winter tourists) and June–September (summer). qaragan shows pilots with verified licences and available dates, without needing to search through intermediaries.

A winter tandem in Gudauri is a unique experience: you go up with skiers on the lift, take off from a snowy plateau and see the Caucasus from above while skiers descend below. Winter air conditions are more dynamic than summer: stronger winds and noticeable temperature drops. Winter tandems are therefore strictly for experienced, certified pilots with real flying hours.

The summer version is gentler: thermals are more stable, flying days are longer and sudden wind increase is less likely. For a first flight, many prefer summer. For unforgettable snow Caucasus views, winter. In both cases, qaragan verifies pilots and allows slot booking without chasing contacts.
