Paragliding in Hermigua

The busiest flying spot

As well as being a paradise for nature lovers, it is also one for paragliding enthusiasts. In the beautiful municipality of Hermigua, located in the north of La Gomera, it is usual to see the sky dotted with colourful paragliders. It is the main flying spot and the busiest one on the island and has ideal conditions for doing this sport. The take off, at a height of 450 metres above sea level and the excellent face of the mountainside make the flights last for hours.

Skypar Paragliding Festival

The Skypar Festival is without doubt, a classic among paragliding enthusiasts. It started in 2008 to promote the area and today it attracts hundreds of paragliders. This festival, which is usually held in the month of September, offers a great sight of collective flying thanks to the splendid flying conditions to be found in the bay of Hermigua. Those who want to fly over this formidable landscape can do so in tandem flights accompanied by qualified pilots.

Sustainability

Nunca dejes residuos de ningún tipo en el entorno, incluidas las colillas. Los restos de comida contribuyen a la proliferación de roedores y gatos asilvestrados que suponen una grave amenaza para la fauna.
Respeta a los animales, no los molestes ni los alimentes. Si ves algún ejemplar herido, puedes avisar en el teléfono de emergencias 112. Tampoco arranques flores o plantas.
No recojas ni te lleves piedras o cualquier otro elemento del medio natural. Tampoco lo modifiques amontonándolas para realizar las tristemente famosas “torres”.
No practiques actividades deportivas fuera de las áreas permitidas.
