Tandem Paragliding with Alternative Adventures in Hinton

Located in Hinton, Alberta, just on the edge of the Canadian Rockies, Alternative Adventures offers an aerial adventure that's hard to match: tandem paragliding flights designed for both first-timers and adrenaline seekers. This region is known for its rugged mountain landscape carved from ancient sedimentary rock, providing epic backdrop views of steep pine-clad slopes and the Athabasca River winding far below. Flying with Alternative Adventures, you'll lift off from scenic ridges that catch the shifting mountain winds, granting unobstructed panoramas of glacier-spotted peaks and rich forest. The area’s geography creates reliable thermals that pilots use to extend flight time, making each tandem flight not only a rush but an opportunity to experience the Rockies from a unique perspective.

The 'Super Hero Flights' and tandem package options let travelers take to the sky under the guidance of skilled, safety-focused instructors who break down each step clearly, making this a safe, approachable experience for otherwise non-flyers. Offering a two-flight package allows adventurers to maximize their time airborne, often capturing different views depending on weather and flight path. Since Hinton is a gateway to Jasper National Park and several outdoor activities, Alternative Adventures adds a thrilling aerial dimension to the region’s outdoor offerings.

Beyond the flights themselves, Hinton thrives with outdoor culture—from hiking to river sports—and Alternative Adventures stands out by integrating aviation into this rugged slate of recreation. Their presence anchors paragliding firmly alongside hiking and skiing in the local adventure lineup. This elevates Hinton’s standing for visitors seeking more than ground-level thrills. For those who want to take in the Rockies without the grunt of climbing, soaring with Alternative Adventures is an unmatched option that combines landscape appreciation with heart-pounding flight.
