Paragliding enthusiasts are well catered for and also in matters beyond training we are a competent point of contact.

Taster Day 

Take off and experience the lightness of flying. After a short theoretical briefing, the practical flying exercises start. After a couple of running exercises with the paraglider, soon first short flights can be undertaken. Taster days are possible on Mondays and Tuesdays resp. and during the beginners’ courses in the Lechtal.

Basic Training 

The basic training takes place on an exercise slope in Elbigenalp. The courses are held as weekend courses (Son – Sat). After 3-4 days on the exercise slope, five altitude flights are passed in the following days. Theory is taught parallel to the practice.

Altitude Flight Training / Paragliding Permit 

The altitude flight training takes place on our local mountain, the Jöchelspitze summit (onair Paragliding Center – main office in Bach/Lechtal). We offer many dates, so every student can plan individually. Moreover there are one-week altitude flight trainings in the Vogesen in spring and autumn. Theory courses for the paragliding permit are offered in our new training centre in Bach.
