Introductory Paragliding Course: Your First Flight Towards Freedom €800 (approx. one week)
Do you dream of flying? Our Introductory Paragliding Course is the perfect gateway to the exciting world of free flight. Designed for absolute beginners, we will guide you step by step from the basics on the ground to your first solo take-off and landing (always under the direct supervision of our expert instructors). Get ready to experience an unparalleled feeling of freedom and discover a new perspective on the world.
What will you learn and do?
Our introductory programme combines essential theory with intensive practice, ensuring that you acquire the skills and confidence necessary to fly safely:- Equipment Familiarization: Familiarize yourself with each component of the paraglider: the wing, the harness (seat), the emergency parachute, and the instruments. You will learn how each element works and why it is vital for your safety.
- Basic Aerodynamics and Meteorology: You will understand the principles that allow a paraglider to fly. You will learn how to interpret the wind, thermal currents, and the essential weather conditions needed to decide when and where it is safe to fly.
- Ground Practice (Inflation and Wing Control): We will devote most of the time to mastering inflation and paraglider control on the ground. You will learn to “feel” the wing, to bring it up, control it above your head, and run with it. This phase is crucial for developing the skills you need before taking off.
- First Short Take-offs and Landings: You will make your first low-altitude flights from gentle slopes, refining your take-off and landing technique. Every step will be supervised and guided by your instructor over the radio.
- High Flights (Under Supervision): When you are ready, you will make your first flights from higher take-off points, experiencing the true sensation of floating in the air. You will receive continuous radio instructions for each phase of the flight.
- Safety Procedures: You will learn and practice safety and emergency procedures, including the pre-flight equipment check and how to respond to different situations.
