Soaring Camp in Portugal

Between Ocean and Cliffs

This paragliding camp in Portugal is a progression-focused training course, dedicated to learning and improving coastal soaring skills. Fully coached and supervised, it focuses on launch techniques in varying wind strengths, canopy control and positioning, ground handling, and the precise choice of launch position. Through hands-on practice, we work on reading soaring sites, understanding the terrain, wind, and the local effects specific to the Atlantic coast.
In the air, training continues with soaring positioning, right-of-way priorities, finding the best lift, optimal site exploitation, top landing techniques, and crab flying into the wind.

The itinerary remains flexible and spontaneous. We let the conditions guide us so we are always in the right place at the right time. Depending on the day, we prioritize the best soaring sites along the Atlantic coast, particularly north of Lisbon, in order to make the most of each aerological setup.

June offers ideal flying conditions: steady Atlantic breezes, easy launches, and long soaring flights above cliffs and sand dunes. Between flying sessions, time is also dedicated to relaxation: surfing, swimming in secluded coves, or discovering local specialties in a seaside tavern.

A complete trip combining technical progression, paragliding, nature and the unmissable pastel de nata, to fully enjoy everything the country has to offer.
Whether you are a soaring enthusiast, a beginner, an experienced pilot, or XC-oriented, this camp adapts to your level, goals, and expectations.

A flexible camp, ideal for progressing both on the ground and in the air, while fully enjoying Portugal’s west coast.
