Paraglider Trial Lesson

Fly a paraglider yourself

Practice makes perfect! The paragliding course trial lesson takes place on a small slope in small groups. After a short introduction by the instructor and after you have gotten to know the paraglider, you will practise pulling it up for the first time. As you play with your paraglider and the wind, you will feel the force trying to pull you away from the ground.

You will be surprised how quickly you manage your first small jumps of a few meters. The better your progress, the higher up the slope you will take off and towards the end of the taster day you will be flying alone at a height of 5 - 10 meters above the heads of your friends and landing safely on the plain.

from CHF 99.-
per person

Voucher / booking

The two-day double trial lesson (only in the Glarnerland region) even includes a first short high-altitude flight of approx. 500 m at the end of the second day. The paragliding instructor looks after you the whole time via radio link and guides you safely to the landing site. Perhaps this is the start of a great flying career? Your instructor will be happy to provide you with information about the paragliding training course and the costs of the paragliding school.

Included in the paragliding taster course is the complete paragliding equipment plus the supervision of a licensed paragliding instructor. The costs will be credited towards any paragliding pilot training at the respective paragliding school. We will be happy to provide you with a non-binding offer for a paragliding taster course for larger groups.

We did this trial lesson as a team event at work and we really enjoyed it. Personally, I would have liked it if the individual steps had been explained again slowly, e.g. in smaller groups. At the beginning I found it a bit difficult to remember and implement everything at once.

Otherwise I thought it was a great experience and can only recommend it.

Very friendly and well-organized team. Good expertise.

Coordination of line control could be better so that participants can fly more quickly.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience that would not have been possible without this team!

We had booked a paragliding trial lesson . It was a great experience so that we will now do the 2nd trial lesson which includes a high altitude flight.
The theory / marketing of the flight school could be a bit more interesting. However, we understand that the flight school wants to sell its services in the best possible way.
