The Mid Wales Paragliding Centre offers paragliding training, paramotoring training and Tandem paragliding flights in mid Wales close to Aberystwyth.  The centre is a BHPA registered school that was started in 2003 by Steve Griffiths and has gone on to train thousands of pilots over the years.

At the Mid Wales Paragliding Centre you will be able to complete the BHPA syllabus’s for Elementary Pilot and Club Pilot qualifications after which you are licenced to fly at sites right across the UK and internationally.  And if you are looking to buy paragliding equipment then the centre can offer advice as well as stocking a large amount of kit for you to purchase.  If you are serious about paragliding it’s often a good idea to train, at least on the club Pilot course, with the kit you will be using from then on.

If you’re not quite ready to take on a full training qualification but still want to get into the sky then check out Mid Wales Paragliding Centre’s Tandem flights which include options to have pictures and videos taken of your experience.
