Paragliding is a bit different during summer and winter. In summer you can experience the clean mountain air, alpine pastures filled with wild flowers and most importantly the pleasant temperature. Since the weather changes rapidly in the high alpine environment, flights are best in the morning where the weather is more predictable.
