FLYING.

THE BEST SEAT IN THE HOUSE. Take a tandem paraglide flight over the Columbia River, or land on a remote mountain peak with a helicopter tour. If you’ve never been in a helicopter, there’s no better place to experience unfettered flight. Cover miles in minutes and get an unequalled perspective. Hover comfortably over Wap Lake or the Revelstoke Dam, buzz over the Upper Arrow Lake Flats, swoop by waterfalls, rivers, and even tumbling glaciers. It’s a helicopter, you can go anywhere!

It’s time for that tandem paraglide flight you’ve always talked about. Starting from 2,200 meters above sea level, launch off Mount Mackenzie, the most vertical relief in North America. All pilots are certified by the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada. Tandem flights are open to all ages, you don’t need any previous experience, and you can do it year-round.

Experienced licensed pilots can bring their own wings and launch off the top of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, experiencing the freedom and exhilaration of big mountain flying. For safety, please be sure to brush up on the rules and get in touch with the local pilot. Our local paragliding company has put information together for visiting pilots; visit revelstokeparagliding.com.
