Gerd · FamilyAustria · August 2022
There were four of us (11 y, 14 y, 40 y and 70 y) on the road. The behavioral training for the start was very thorough and is certainly also very relevant for the pilot. My pilot explained a lot about paragliding to me and answered any questions I had. This wonderful feeling to be in the air, to feel the wind, to experience the different flight maneuvers with the view of the mountains and the lake was really a great experience.
