Paragliding

Nowadays everybody can fly, just get out from the sofa and learn how to fly!

This is a young sport, what became popular in the 80s after long experimentation. People can take his wing on his back to the peak and from there they fly free with the winds. It is possible make cross-country tours (100-200km distance) from the take-off places absolutely free like the birds from year millions, or make acrobatic flight; it depends just on your habit. The paragliding is the most free form to fly. Today the technic is absolutely perfect, and gives safety flight experience for the paraglider pilot. After the compilation of equipment, you can pull with the lines your wing over your head, and take just few steps and you are in the airspace. All-round over and over you can flight with the thermals (rising air currents), to the clouds, over mountains, lakes, towns. Landing is also relative simple: you just have to navigating over the landing area, and after the approach from the final gliding soft touch the ground. Paragliding gives you every time new experiences discovering the nature; get to know interesting people and things. The paragliding today is the most known form of aviation all-round the world.


Courses

 


Basic course

We start from the beginning. Describing of equipment, operating principle, basic elements. I show you the training field, and we discuss the conditions of meteorology. Using special practice, step by step, we are going to perfecting the start and landing technics. On the first day you are able short gliding from the hill if the condition of meteorology allows. You will get the theory cours too.

During the course you will learn every parts of the equipment, the knack of aeronautics, the rules of aerodinamics in the practice, the mysteries of meteorology, the airspaces, the rules of air traffic.

During the cours we’ll give you a full equipment: wing, harness with protector, what you need to bring: helmet ( what you use for bicycle, ski, snowboard, bmx are perfect too ), glows, hiking shoes, comfortable clothing, determination, courage, good pleasure.

After learning the take-off and landing technic we’ll start the flying. We train gradually, you will learn at the first how to turne and landing to the target landing area. When you practice well, we will go to the higher take-off places to the mountains about 10-12 times. The courses are personalised for your free time, skill and style.
