Every paragliding course is different, depending on the level of the students and the weather conditions. That's why the information you'll find below concerns only the beginner's courses, whose structure remains more or less the same from one course to the next.

At Air et Aventure Académie, the introductory course runs as follows:

Day 1 :

- Welcome and introduction of students

- Taking of licenses

- Presentation of equipment

- School slope (piloting the wing on the ground)

- Theory lesson

Day 2 :

- School slope and first short flight

- Flight plan theory lesson.

From day 3 :

Depending on the level and desires of the students and the conditions, a first long flight can be envisaged. From then on, the days will be punctuated by flight sessions, ground/school slope inflation and theory lessons.

The date and meeting place for the first day are indicated on the confirmation email you received when you booked.

For subsequent days, the meeting point will be given the day before at the end of the day.

Thank you for your punctuality !

- Sports shoes, preferably high-top

- Clothes that are not too warm for the school slope sessions. Warmer clothes for rest periods.

To fly in France, you need aviation liability insurance.

As a member of the Fédération Française de Vol Libre school network, we ask you to subscribe via the federation.

This also enables you to participate in federal actions and contribute to the upkeep of free-flight sites.

We are based on the Lumbin landing area, so we prefer flights to St-Hilaire-du-Touvet or, depending on the course, to the surrounding area.

List of main sites at the bottom of the page.

If the weather is not favorable in Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet, we can move to other flying sites offering better conditions, such as Chamoux or Mont Lambert.

If, despite these alternatives, conditions still do not allow flying, rest assured: every canceled half-day is neither charged nor lost. It will simply be refunded or not counted in your package.
