Paragliding School

It is the discovery over the week of bases of the flight (practical and theoretical) with a recent and adapted equipment.

At your own pace, you will progress from the school slope to the big flight, supervised by two state certified instructors.

The initiation begins already with the acquisition of a good basic gesture on the ground, thanks to practical exercises adapted and controlled, to which are added as and to the extent of the theoretical knowledge.

The first stepss

The course runs from Monday to Friday (5 half days) in the morning only because the aerological conditions are adequate for learning.

The first 2 or 3 days take place on the "school slope" where, as its name suggests, we gradually discover the basic gestures to prepare his wing, inflate, bring it over the head, then the to drive while trotting along before going to bed on the ground to stop, all without taking off. Patience ... It will come.

Over the tests, you will do some "jumps fleas" ie mini flights taking off from a few meters to a few tens of meters. Which, you will see, is already enough to discover the first real delicious sensations of the flight.

The "school slope" is the most physical part of learning, the many round trips in the field are necessary to understand and automate the sequences of different gestures that allow to inflate, take off, fly and land smoothly with maximum of security.

The big flight

Eh yes ! You can then doubt it, the day when one makes his first big flight alone under his wing is a big day with great emotion. These first big flights as they are named, also take place on the site of Super-Morzine with a difference in height of 600 m, one monitor will guide you to take off and another to landing. And to fully enjoy these unforgettable moments, you will leave the planet with a radio on the shoulder heart side, and guided throughout the flight by soft voice. Alone under your wing and in the air, but not lost !!! We envy you this first great flight, which takes place only once, ours having been consumed for a long time already. The purpose of this course is essentially to bring you to this first big flight, we can not guarantee a number of flights because we are dependent on weather conditions! So you can do during this course from 1 to X big flights.
