Table Mountain Paragliding Site This site is known for its challenging and complex conditions, making it suitable only for highly experienced pilots. The launch areas are generally cliff-like and require excellent ground handling skills and perfect weather conditions. Access is via the Cable Car, followed by a walk to the launch site. Be prepared for long queues during summer. Launch: Near the Tearoom at the Upper Cable Station, lay out on bare rock. Suitable for SW winds. Landing: Glen Club field. Requirements: - Sport Licence (IPPI 5) with a minimum of 200 flights. - Comprehensive briefing by a local instructor. - SANParks Activity Permit. - Foreign pilots must have a Foreign Pilot Permit and contact the Glen Paragliding Club for guidance. Table Mountain is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to many critically endangered species. It is crucial to stay on paths and avoid trampling vegetation. Park rangers patrol the area and may request to see your pilot license and SANParks Activity Permit. Weather: Table Mountain's weather can be unpredictable with strong venturi effects and wild rotor. Safer launch options are available at Lion’s Head for SW winds and Signal Hill for W or NW winds. For weather updates, check: - Lions Head: [Weather Station](https://iweathar.co.za/display?s_id=252) - Glen Club LZ: [Weather Station](https://iweathar.co.za/display?s_id=436) - Signal Hill: [Weather Station](https://iweathar.co.za/display?s_id=28) The Gully launch faces SSW and is located behind the cable-car station. The path to the launch site involves walking south from the station, across Platteklip Gorge. The takeoff is challenging due to uneven rocks and potential turbulence. For more detailed information, visit: - [Fly Cape Town](https://flycapetown.co.za/blog/paragliding-table-mountain) - [SANParks](http://www.sanparks.org/parks/table_mountain/library/appendix1_para.pdf) - [Glen Club](https://www.glenclub.co.za/table-mountain-gully/) - [SAHPA](https://www.sahpa.co.za/site-guide/sites/table-mountain/) Note: Guidance by an experienced local pilot is mandatory. This site is not recommended for casual flights.
