Europe XC Tours

You have flown already a lot of sites in Australia?
The end of the flying season is approaching?
You dreamt to fly the European Alps but do not know where to start?

Come and join us on one of our guided paragliding tours in Italy.

We will stay at small hotels and gasthofs close to the flying sites to minimize the daily travelling, but will travel in neighbouring valleys in case local weather does not permit flying.

The typical day starts with breakfast and weather briefing.
On the way to the flying site we visit the landing zone and before every flight a site briefing will be provided.
On request XC tasks can be handed out in form of waypoints, but needless to say that based on the flying site and conditions recommendations for the flying will be given.

Guiding will be provided via radio from ground and in flight.

A perfect opportunity to maximise your flying time and distance, learning multiple flying sites to know, improving your mountain, thermal and xc flying and that all in such a picturesque landscape like the Alps.
