LEARN TO PARAGLIDE IN FRANCE OR
SPAIN
Cheap flights and generally good
weather make Southern Europe ideal for a Paragliding holiday. We have
many years experience running paragliding holidays abroad to France, Spain
Austria and Greece. To paraglide, beginners need gentle safe slopes and stable
conditions, with the more Advanced Pilot requiring larger sites with
conditions suitable for cross country flights.

Beginners will require, stable, light wind conditions with little
or no thermic activity, low slopes for the first few days and then higher sites
with large landing and take off areas.
France in May and September is normally ideal, Spain in November and
February can be good.
Elementary to Club
Pilot paragliding Holidays abroad are perfect for completing your Club
Pilot tasks. With good weather this can be achieved in one week and
normally some thermal flying as well! Nearly all the guests on our paragliding
holidays have met each other while training for their Elementary pilot and this
makes for a fantastic atmosphere. Once on your Elementary course we will
keep you informed of future holidays.
Club Pilot and beyond. These Paragliding holidays are available to all
our past students who are welcome on any trip. If you are not on our

France
, where paragliding started, has more flying sites and schools than any
other country in Europe. With grass slopes, stunning scenery and generally
very good flying conditions
Spain
is good for winter flying,
generally October November, January and February can be good although
the sites tend to be more rocky and less forgiving.
PLEASE NOTE
Paragliding abroad is not the same as paragliding in the UK and unless you
only intend to fly abroad we would recommend
starting or completing your Elementary Pilot in the UK during the summer,
when the weather is generally good, and then complete your Club Pilot on a
holiday.
