Experience Taster & Introductory Course
TWO COURSES TO LEARN THE BASICS OF PARAGLIDING
For those who want to fly on their own, and for those who wish to continue learning, we offer two different types of courses for students to experience the school. Each course is tailored to the student's own pace.
Introductory Course
Aim: to achieve a 30m solo flight after 4 days of practice lessons.
In this Introductory Course, you will have 4 days of over 90 minutes of practical training.
Depending on your progress, you will be given the chance to make a solo flight from 30m of elevation.
Experience Taster
Two days of practical lessons with a bonus tandem flight!
In the Experience Taster Course, you will have 2 days of over 90 minutes of practical training and a class, in the form of a tandem flight with one of our experienced instructors.

Experience Taster
Once the practical training is over, you will have a tandem flight lesson.
