FAQ
What is the difference between the Performance Flight and a Discovery Flight?
The Performance Flight is significantly longer than a standard introductory flight. Thanks to thermal updrafts, it allows you to gain altitude, stay airborne longer and experience the true sensation of thermal soaring.
Why is this flight only available in the afternoon?
Thermal currents develop when the sun heats the terrain. The best conditions for this type of flight are therefore usually found during the afternoon.
Can we really fly higher than the take-off point?
Yes. That is one of the main highlights of the Performance Flight. When conditions are favourable, thermal updrafts allow the paraglider to climb above the take-off altitude and soar over nearby peaks.
Can acrobatic manoeuvres be added during the flight?
Yes. Depending on your preferences and the day's conditions, your pilot can include acrobatic manoeuvres to make the experience even more exciting.
Do I need previous paragliding experience?
No. The flight remains accessible to beginners and requires no previous experience, although it is aimed at participants looking for a more immersive flying adventure.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Safety always comes first. If weather or flying conditions are not suitable, the flight may be postponed or cancelled by the pilots.
