Paragliding, thermal performance course, and Cross Country introduction.


**Free Flight Course: Thermal Flight Performance**

In this course, our goal is to convey our passion for free flight and provide you with the tools you need to maximize your performance in thermal conditions. If you've ever felt frustrated being the first to land while others skim the clouds, or if you struggle to navigate service thermals, this course is for you.

Our focus is on giving you the confidence to fly while maintaining the same safety you experience in your local area. We fly with you and are with you every step of the way, sharing our practical knowledge.

Guided by local pilots who live in the valley and have over 30 years of experience, you'll learn to interpret and make the most of the valley's local workings. This will allow you to enjoy a more enriching and efficient flight experience. We look forward to seeing you!
