Performance Camp – a big step forward in paragliding

Our training is adjusted right to your training level. You will boost your flying horizon and feel way safer while flying after our course.

Your safety instructor is Chris Geist who is test- and acropilot and also a experienced flying instructor. He has fundamental knowledge about most of the gliders on the market and will share his experiences with you.

MAXIMUM SAFETY FOR YOU!

 
The Paragliding Academy is DHV certified "Safety Training Center"


Most of the pilots think, that a safety course is something you have to do as a kind of courage testing and just ONCE in a flying carrer. That´s not what we think. We recommend every pilot to join a course 1-3 times a year. This is the way you will improve your skills and fly safer and better. Step by step you will adjust your level and skills together with your safety instructor. YOU decide which manouvers you will fly. Nobody will be forced to do a manouver which he doens´t want to. We try to individually pick you up on level where you are at the moment, and try to demand but not to overcharge you.

From Beginner to experienced Acro- and XC Pro, everybody can learn from us. Try it out!
