Impressions from the trial day
Lift off
Your paragliding adventure begins here! On your trial day, you’ll feel the thrill of lifting off the ground for the very first time — guided safely by our experienced instructors on the training hill. With the wind in your face and your feet leaving the earth, you’ll experience a taste of pure freedom that’s impossible to forget.
You’ll learn how to handle the paragliding wing, understand the gear and flying techniques, and get a glimpse into the world of free flight.
We’ll take care of everything — from transportation from Zurich to the perfect flying site, to providing all equipment and safety gear.
No experience is needed — just bring your sense of adventure (and be ready to run a little on takeoff!).
By the end of the day, you’ll be smiling from ear to ear, your heart still racing from your first flights, and you’ll know exactly why so many fall in love with paragliding after just one try.
