During the course, we may travel to find the best flying conditions and will aim to cover all phases of cross-country flight (routes, transitions, etc.).
Note: Paragliding is an aerial sport subject to changing weather conditions. The content may vary depending on meteorological conditions and the participants' level.

Our philosophy of the cross-country course
The joy of being able to travel by paraglider is truly magical! But it’s essential to never forget the basics and to stay humble and cautious at all times. Beyond distance and performance, this course also aims to help you become more aware of your abilities and to reflect on your flying practices, so you can progress without unnecessarily increasing your level of risk.
During a Cross-Country Course, instructors are guides, but pilots remain responsible for their own safety! We provide a tracker to make retrieves easier and to enhance safety.
