Our educational offerings
Basic Paragliding Course – VDS/VL Certificate
The basic course is the first step in obtaining a free flight license. It provides theory lessons, ground exercises, school slope flights and radio-guided high flights. At the end of the course, and passing the exam, you can earn the Certificate of Recreational or Sport Flying (VDS/VL), which is recognized throughout Italy.
Tandem Paragliding Course – Tandem Flight Qualification
Aimed at pilots who are already licensed, this course enables them to obtain a passenger transport rating in tandem paragliders. A minimum of documented flight hours is required. The course includes theory, technical maneuvers and tandem training flights.
Advanced Paragliding Course
Dedicated to those who already have the basic certificate but want to improve technique, flight management and safety, this course offers a complete review of their flying style, with customized objectives: efficient takeoff, thermals, accurate landings, transitions.
Acrobatic Paragliding Course
The Aerobatic Paragliding course is for experienced pilots who wish to learn maneuvers such as wing over, spirals, stalls, SAT and other evolutions. The course is progressive, technical and radio-assisted, always in safety.
Sensitivity and Control Course
Unique in its kind, this course teaches you how to “feel” the wing through brakes, body and pressure management. It serves to improve flight intuition and reduce impulsive reactions. Also very helpful in dealing with flight anxiety.
S.I.V. Course – Flight Incident Simulation
The SIV course takes place in a controlled environment (normally on a lake) and teaches you how to handle critical situations and contingencies, including wing recovery, defusing closures, stall management and emergency parachute use.
