Paraglider Trial Lesson

Fly a paraglider yourself

Practice makes perfect! The paragliding trial lesson place on a small slope in small groups. After a brief introduction from the flight instructor and once you’ve gotten to know the paraglider, you’ll practice setting up the paraglider for the very first time. As you play with your paraglider and the wind, you’ll feel the force pulling you off the ground.

You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll manage your first small jumps of a few meters. The better your progress, the higher up the slope you’ll start, and by the end of the trial day, you’ll be flying solo at a height of 5–10 meters over your friends’ heads and landing safely on the flat ground.
