A paragliding training school where students can learn to fly in a safe environment with professional instructors. Information on tandem flights, introductory courses and gaining a full pilots license.

A paraglider is the ultimate portable aircraft, entirely packing up into a rucksack when not in use! Originally based upon square ram-air parachuting canopies, modern paragliders have ample performance for soaring in the gentle lifting air on windward slopes, and in suitable conditions, thermal lift makes it possible to fly substantial distances across the country. Paragliders have no rigid structure and are kept in shape by the internal pressure of air, with the pilot suspended by lines beneath

Just what is a typical paraglider pilot? The short answer is ''there are none''. The slightly longer answer might be ''well, a lot of them seem to be guys in their 30s or 40s''. Surprised? Isn''t paragliding one of those scary, risky, over-the-top activities in vogue with the young and daring? No, it isn''t really, although there is some potential for danger as in any form of flying. So don''t expect to go to a paragliding location and find pilots fitting some sort of Extreme Sports stereotype.

The good news is, it''s safer than it''s Extreme Sports image would have you think. Of all the so-called Extreme Sports, paragliding has perhaps the widest range of participants. In Japan, you will find old people serenely gliding across dormant volcano slopes. Through the Alps in France, you might spot daring young men pushing the limits of their skills and their paragliders while flying cross-country in challenging conditions.
