What height can a paramotor climb to?
To the maximum height at which the motor will function, that is to say several thousand metres. A 2-stroke combustion engine gives out less power at higher altitudes – when the motor gives out less power, the thrust from the unit is less, and the climb rate decreases. When the climb rate is nil, with the engine just allowing you to maintain level flight, you have reached your maximum height. It is worth knowing that a paramotor has already passed over Mont Blanc at 5,100 metres. Currently the officially recognized height record is 3,050 metres, and many Adventure factory pilots have ascended to 3 or 4,000 metres. This kind of max. altitude question tends to be purely academic; Our recommendation for a pleasant cruise altitude is between 150 and 200 meters, so that you can enjoy the view below This is a reasonable altitude to give a good safety margin and allow you to manoeuvre to choose an appropriate landing area.

This kind of height gain is of mostly academic interest; one thing, though, is certain – it is very pleasant to cruise about at 150 or 200 meters, visiting different areas. This is a reasonable altitude to give a good safety margin and allow you to maneuver to choose an appropriate landing area.
