speed-riding courses

Are you a paraglider pilot and want to learn speed riding?

Sign up for one of our courses to discover this discipline and obtain the speed flying license extension.

Guided by our experienced instructors, you will learn the essential techniques: wing control, take-off techniques, flying close to terrain, and mountain safety management.

Join us and experience a whole new dimension of flight!

During this 2 to 4 day course, we will progressively cover all the skills required to practice speed riding safely and efficiently. We will begin with equipment and wing preparation: setting up the gear, pre-flight checks, and different wing preparation techniques adapted to the terrain and conditions.

We will then work on several take-off techniques so that you become comfortable in different snow and slope situations. The goal is to develop clean, efficient, and reliable take-offs in order to link multiple runs smoothly.

In flight, we will explore how to use the wing’s full speed range using trims and brakes. We will also practice different types of turns, including 45°, 90°, and 360° turns, to improve precision and trajectory control when flying close to the terrain.

Special attention will be given to terrain reading and assessing both take-off and landing zones. We will also cover snow safety, condition assessment, and the main hazards specific to speed riding.

The objective of this course is to help you progress quickly while developing a smooth, efficient, and above all safe speed riding practice.
