Soar the Stunning Coastline of Portugal 

Join Sky Summits in September 2025 for an unforgettable paragliding adventure in Portugal! We’re heading to the spectacular Atlantic coastline, where you’ll experience incredible coastal soaring, smooth thermals, and XC flying while staying in a luxurious beach-view villa in the famous town of Nazaré.

Portugal’s Atlantic coastline is one of the best places in Europe for coastal paragliding, with miles of cliff-top ridges, golden dunes, and consistent sea breezes. The smooth, laminar winds create stable soaring conditions, allowing you to stay aloft for hours with minimal effort.

This trip is the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, offering endless flying opportunities, breathtaking scenery, and a laid-back beach lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to perfect your soaring technique, get comfortable with ground handling, or chase thermals inland, this trip has something for every pilot.

Flying Sites

Our three main flying sites include:

🪂 Polvoeira – Located north of Nazaré, this ridge offers incredible dynamic soaring with smooth, lifty conditions and expansive landing areas. Perfect for long, relaxed flights while enjoying stunning ocean views.

🪂 Salgado – Just south of Nazaré, this site features majestic cliffs and wide beaches, making it a fantastic spot for ridge soaring. 

🪂 Grahla – A lesser-known coastal gem offering beautiful dunes and steady, predictable winds for all day soaring, top landings and dreamy sunset flights. A true pilot’s playground!

Thermalling & XC Adventures
in Portugal’s Countryside

These XC trips are suitable for XC pilots of all levels. 

While the coastal flying is world-class, we’ll also explore some of Portugal’s inland paragliding sites, where you can chase thermals and go cross-country (XC). The warm Portuguese climate generates strong but manageable thermals, giving pilots the chance to practice climbing efficiently and improve their distance flying.

With rolling hills, forests, and picturesque villages, the inland sites provide a completely different flying experience—one that will test and improve your ability to read conditions and navigate new terrain.

Whether you’re chasing smooth ocean breezes or inland thermals, this exclusive Sky Summits paragliding trip is designed to give you the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation.
