Basic course

Our paragliding courses are designed to give you a safe and positive flying experience. We start with an introductory meeting in Šmihel, near the official paragliding landing place, and continue on various terrains in the Vipava Valley area (including Lijak, Ajdovščina, Vremščica, and Banjška plateau) based on weather conditions. Scheduled primarily on weekends in the morning, our course dates can be adjusted based on the group’s needs.

Our course is structured to ensure you acquire and consolidate new knowledge in a safe and supportive environment. After registering, we’ll add you to our SMS notification list and send you weekly work plans to keep you informed about the course schedule.

During the course, you’ll complete ten practical exercises (each lasting three hours) on school training grounds and theoretical lectures. Under the watchful eye of an instructor and guided by a radio station, you’ll complete at least 25 flights with an altitude difference of 50m. Our curriculum covers everything from wing filling and lifting to landing maneuvers, and we aim to build your knowledge on a solid foundation.
