Club Airsport
-
General
Autonomous flying in group, continue to grow at your own pace, under the guidance of an instructor/guide who will help you with your personal goals. Club Airsport goes along parallel with the internship, but is not an internship. It’s a budget-friendly, organised paragliding trip, with the first goal of flying safely together.
Besides just enjoying flying, it is also the ideal way to increase your number of flights for the progression from initial certification to pilot’s license. The guide provides an overview of the flying conditions every day and helps the group to organize itself. Furthermore, you can ask for some extra guidance on take-off or landing. If the conditions permit, we will look for the thermals together with you, and we will monitor your progression. All in consultation with the group.

Insurances
Paragliding Insurance
Mandatory. All participants must be members of the BVVF with insurance. Only the paragliding insurance through Aviabel BVVF is valid.
Travel Assistance Insurance
Highly Recommended. Insurance in case you have an accident with paragliding, are in need of medical assistance, and need to be repatriated back home. This is not included in the paragliding insurance. Travel assistance insurance with Europ-Assistance starts at €18.
Cancellation Insurance
Highly Recommended. If you need to cancel the training, for any reason (health reasons, major life events, etc.), you can easily reclaim your registration fee from the insurance company in the event of cancellation on your part. The best formula can be found at Europ-Assistance and can be combined with the above travel assistance.
Cancellation insurance with Europ-Assistance starts at €15.
Sessions
Club Airsport
During the Easter holidays, we go to our usual spot in Allevard, the house of Maison Béthel. During this period, a lot is possible. In the past, we flew here in the snow and in a T-shirt. But in either case, from here, we can easily go to Saint Hilaire, Montlambert, or Annecy. There are more than enough alternatives to fly here.
We stay in hostel Maison Béthel, not the big luxury but everything we need at a very reasonable price. They offer full board, room with breakfast, a packed lunch and dinner, all for about € 50 per day.
