British Columbia

BC is situated on the West Coast of Canada. Its' westerly shores are lapped by the Pacific Ocean. Often referred to as "California North", BC offers some of the greatest outdoor opportunities to be found anywhere on the globe. Pristine wilderness where wildlife abounds in the turquoise lakes, swift flowing rivers, majestic mountain peaks and an emerald green ocean are some of the elements that make this the ultimate adventurers' playground.

Our tour will take us through the Fraser River Valley and Sea to Sky country.

iparaglide.com is based in downtown Vancouver, Canada's largest western city. Host of Expo 1986 and the upcoming Olympics 2010, this world class city offers the very finest in dining, theatre and shopping. The nightlife is fantastic, but Vancouver is most famous for its' West Coast lifestyle. Vancouver is a mecca for outdoor and sports enthusiasts who have chosen this city as their playground. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, all have access for a stroll, bike or roller-blade along the seawall, or a leisurely paddle in a sea kayak. For those seeking greater adventure, there are spectacular scuba-diving sites and fishing opportunities via boats departing the harbor.

Perhaps the most striking feature of Vancouver is the neighboring mountains which offer world class skiing in the winter and paragliding, mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking opportunities in the summer.

For the paragliding enthusiast, the adventure possibilities are endless. With select ski resorts featuring gondola access to launch sites; countless easy drive up access sites; hiking/climbing to do first paragliding descents; or helicopter to non-accessible summits; British Columbia has the paragliding sites to suit every paragliders' tastes, from novice to expert.
