Tandem paragliding flights over Gold Country.
Air Addict Paragliding offers tandem flights, lessons, and guided outings in the foothills around Auburn, giving newcomers a way to soar with no prior experience. The operation has provided paragliding instruction in Northern California since 2005, and its instructors are certified for both free-flight and powered paragliding. Primary flying and training sites cluster in the Pilot Hill area near Coloma and Lotus, as well as around Cool, El Dorado Hills, Placerville, and Auburn, roughly forty-five minutes from downtown Sacramento. Tandem flights pair a guest with an experienced pilot, while structured lessons and gear sales support those who want to keep going. Because flights depend on weather and conditions, outings are arranged by booking. Visitors choose it for the chance to experience open-air flight over Gold Country with a long-established, certified local school guiding the way.
