Details
Let your dream of flying come true! The basic paragliding course is the first step on the way to becoming an independent paraglider pilot. Under the guidance of experienced flight instructors, you will experience fast learning success and worry-free flying fun. You'll be surprised how fast you learn to fly on your own.
Course programme
The meeting point for the course is the flight school in Moosheim (free parking available), where you will receive a theoretical introduction first. You find a free car park on site. Then you start with the first exercises at the training area. In the basic course, you will learn the complete take-off procedure, the turning flight as well as landing patterns and the landing procedure. The training slope is ideal for beginners, and you are in constant radio contact with your instructor. Soon you will be able to make your first high-altitude flights with more than 400 m difference in altitude from Michaelerberg. The theoretical lessons take place in the training rooms of the flight school and cover the topics meteorology, aerodynamics, equipment and air law. One afternoon during the week of the course, you have free time to take part in a tandem flight or a rafting tour, for example. After the basic course, you will be ready for high flight training.

Really good instruction through out the week. Really good intro, levelled to all abilities. Sell good books and kit in the shop, really nice vibe, lovely people that run it.
If you’re British bring at least 50€ pp cash for the week, as you’ll likely go out for dinner as a group and they only accept cash. Also fly to Innsbruck or Vienna then train is easy.
Loads of fun stuff to do in the valleys around as well. If you do this course you’ll want to do the high fly, and qualification flight as well.
