Elementary Pilot Course
The EP, (Elementary pilot paragliding course) is a paragliding course for complete beginners. As a total beginner at paragliding this is the first step to experiencing this wonderful sport and also to getting a paragliding qualification that allows you to fly unsupervised.
We follow the BHPA syllabus, (British Paragliding and Hang-gliding Association) and will take a total novice to a level where they feel confident to paraglide solo, judging weather conditions and site selection. In just a few days you can complete this intensive paragliding syallabus and experience what it feels like to fly like a bird. Anyone can particpate in this course without any prior experience or fitness.
Learning to paraglide with us here in Switzerland means enjoying perfect weather and high mountains so that you get maximum airtime! Because of this we are able to guarentee that you can complete your EP syllabus in just a week!
The EP course is the first stage of the BHPA system and equivalent to an IPPI 2 rating… (International rating scheme).
