Where to Paraglide in June: The Places That Fly Most
The paragliding places with the most flyable days in June, counted from three years of hourly weather at every launch, continent by continent.
Published · OutDare Team
In June, the paragliding places in Europe that flew most often over the last three years were Millau, Occitanie, France (100% of days), Jena, Thuringia, Germany (100% of days) and Dupnitsa, Kyustendil, Bulgaria (100% of days). Further away, each continent's leader was Jiguaní in Cuba, Iquique in Chile, Tāzīān in Iran, Panguíla in Angola and Tamborine Mountain in Australia. Each figure is the share of June days, from 2023-09 to 2026-08, when at least one launch of the place had a two-hour window a typical EN-B pilot would fly: wind 5–25 km/h from a direction the launch faces (or a calm day with good thermals), gusts under 39 km/h, no rain or storm, and cloud off the launch.

How this is measured
Every launch in the OutDare map is judged hour by hour against the weather model's history at that spot: wind at the ground and at launch height, gusts, rain and thunderstorms, low cloud and the thermal ceiling. Places group the launches you would choose between on a trip, and a place flies on a day when any of its launches does. Only places with at least 2 launches are listed, and tow-only flatland fields are left out. Your own limits change the answer: the trip planner re-ranks every place for your wind range, and each place opens on the OutDare map for your exact dates.
A seasonal guide from past weather, never a substitute for the live forecast and your own judgement on the day.
