High-flight course

CHF 3590.- | CHF 2990.- for students*
What to expect
After the basic training and your first successful high-altitude flights, you will gain experience through further flights. We get to know the weather together and perfect your ground handling. You will learn how to stay in the air longer, how to center the thermals and how to react in turbulent air. You will also learn how to descend quickly and how to land precisely and gently at the desired location.
Twice a year you can benefit from our theory lessons in weather, flying practice, aerodynamics, air law and material science.
Swiss law stipulates that as a student pilot you must complete at least 50 high-altitude flights in 5 different flying areas during your training before you can register for the paragliding license exam. Our goal is to offer you more than the minimum, because we want to take care of you until you feel safe in the air and enjoy flying, so that you are able to fly alone or with friends after receiving your license. The high flights course offers you an unlimited number of flights within 12 months.
