Beginner’s courses

A progressive training course guiding you to your first solo flights.

Objective

First step of the learning process, this course is aimed at all those who wish to learn the technique of flying a paraglider.

Program

Our paragliding training courses take place over full days during which we alternate between flight sessions, ground handling sessions, debriefing and theoretical courses.
The ground handling sessions on a grass training hill allow you to acquire the basic techniques necessary to take off.
The tandem flight, as an educational tool, is used depending on the conditions. It gives you the opportunity to simulate reality and rehearse your first solo flight.
The first major flights take place at the St Hilaire site with radio assistance (unless weather conditions force us to change sites).
Throughout your training, we will give you theoretical lessons in line with your level of progression.

Level: Beginner

Warning for the weekend courses
The beginner weekend course takes place over two weekends, the first weekend corresponds to the introduction to ground handling and the tandem flight. During the second weekend, we go back to the training hill if necessary, and continue onto the first solo flights, if the required level is reached.

The registration for the second part of the course is done automatically the following weekend: INI2 (except in exceptional cases).
