Why go
About CAMFLY Parapendio Como
Camfly is an amateur sports association for paragliding enthusiasts, based in Carlazzo, in the hills above Lake Como. It aims to share the sport and practise it safely, and it flies around Carlazzo, Porlezza on Lake Lugano, the Lago di Piano reserve and the Intelvi valley.
Visitors can book a tandem flight with a qualified instructor, who stays with them from the briefing through take-off, flight and landing, then back by Camfly shuttle. A short video of the flight can be arranged, and the same team also teaches paragliding and runs a kitesurf lift service on the lake.
