'Petit Challenge' Course
Among all aerial sports, paragliding is the most accessible.
Even first-timers can take on the challenge and experience floating through the air.
After practising some basic flying techniques, you will be able to operate the glider all on your own and glide at low altitude.
The key to success is to keep facing forward and run without hesitation.
After registering in the morning, you can practice twice within the allotted 30 to 40 minutes, then take your solo flight.
