No experience is needed: you fly in tandem with a state-certified instructor at the controls. You just need to take a few running steps at take-off.
Do you get vertigo when paragliding?
No, you don't feel vertigo when paragliding because you are not connected to the ground: you see the landscape a bit like a photo. A little apprehension at first is normal.
