TASTER DAYS

ONE DAY COURSES

During the one-day paragliding course, you will learn the basic skills required to take-off and land followed at the end of the day by a tandem flight, where you can take the controls and learn the basics of controlling the glider in the air whilst in the safety of flying with a qualified FSVL tandem pilot.

TWO AND THREE DAY COURSES

Our two and three-day paragliding courses will build on the skills that you have learned during the first day but now with the objective of flying as much as possible. By the end of the second day, you can expect to be ready for your first solo flight whilst guided over the radio by an instructor. First solo flights are usually done on the morning of the third day.

Students start to fly solo when we consider them to be ready and this can vary from student to student. Although it is possible to start flying solo on the second day, we recommend that you book a 3-day course to be sure that you are ready for solo flights.

Anyone from the age of 14yrs or over can take part in these beginner paragliding courses and begin to discover the wonderful world of flying.

You can take part in this paragliding course entirely in English with our team of English-speaking paragliding instructors.

OBJECTIVE

For complete paragliding beginners to discover the world of paragliding, including learning how to take-off, understanding the equipment and experiencing a tandem flight.

CUSTOMERS REVIEWS

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO DESCRIBE THE FREEDOM. → GREAT TEACHING, VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE INSTRUCTORS. → VERBIER SUMMIT IS AWESOME! →

"I looked down a slope so steep I'd normally descend it on my backside, inflated my wing as I'd been taught and stepped forward, and five steps later the ground fell away and I drifted out over a valley that looked from my vantage like a giant patchwork quilt of fields. The only sound was the thumping of my heart in my ears and the whoosh of the wind as it caressed my face. I was flying."

"I just finished my first week of paragliding with Verbier Summits. Excellent intro to paragliding. Great teaching, very knowledgeable instructors. Amazing that you get to do some real flying from the very start (after practicing take-offs, obviously). Highly recommended."

"If you have ever thought of Paragliding, check out Verbier Summits! The team at Verbier is a very knowledgeable, safe, professional, and fun group of people. I can't express what a great of a time I had on the 2-day taster class! I will be back to do the entire course in the very near future."
