Introductory Glider Flight in Portugal

The Experience

Discover the remarkable sensation of engine-free flight during a glider experience above Montemor-o-Novo. Designed to move efficiently through the air, the glider offers a smooth flight with little more than the sound of the wind around you.

Your experience begins with a ten-minute briefing covering gliding and basic aerodynamics. You will then settle into the glider alongside a certified, experienced instructor.

A powered aircraft will tow the glider to the required altitude. Once the towline is released, the glider will fly independently using rising air currents to remain in the sky.

The flight lasts approximately 25 minutes. If weather conditions are favourable, you may receive a few additional minutes in the air.

Relax as you glide above the countryside surrounding Montemor-o-Novo. From the air, you can enjoy a peaceful new perspective over Portugal’s beautiful Alentejo region.
