Take to the skies by booking some extreme air sports like paragliding or skydiving during your holiday to Tuscany to spice things up!
The main centres that provide these thrilling endeavours are based at Monte San Giuliano on the border between the Pisa and Lucca provinces, Mugello and Lucca airport.
There is a superb selection of vacation rentals in Pisa and Lucca close to these adventure venues where thrill seekers can rest and re-energise before their next extreme adventure!
Why not feel what it’s like to be a bird by taking off in flight from the top of Monte san Giuliano and soar at an altitude of 550ft? If this is your first time then you’ll be attached to a tandem paraglide where an experienced instructor will steer you safely through a breathtaking experience! In ideal weather conditions, you may even be able to paraglide up to heights of 2,400ft!

Or give the exhilarating sport of gliding a try. Enjoy a stimulating ride behind a pilot of a lightweight aircraft called a glider that flies through the sky using only natural air currents and thermals to keep it airborne! Make sure to bring your sunglasses with you for this sport as it tends to get very bright as you glide up to 2,000 feet in the air!
If flying through the skies like a bird isn't extreme enough then perhaps a sky dive that allows you to jump out of a plane 14,000ft up in the air might get your heart pumping?
There are few things on this earth that will get your heart racing faster than when you’re whizzing through the air at two hundred kilometres per hours towards the ground! If this is one of your first times skydiving then you’ll be securely attached to a professional who will release your parachute and let you float safely to the ground.

All of these extreme air sports have risks of course, or they wouldn't be called extreme; but each one has technically advanced equipment to ensure your safety every time.
