Paragliding in the Victorian Alps

Eco-friendly activity

Autumn colours, Don Skirrow / Explore Australia Publishing

Ecotourism is not generally about thrills for their own sake, but soaring in the thermals in the Victorian Alps really has to be a glorious way to see this part of the country, flying in silence, and using wind and air currents alone. There are several operators that offer tandem paragliding for those who want a taste without having to learn the ropes. Alpine Paragliding at Bright emphasises that they take people with disabilities and Active Flight will also get you up in the air.
