An initiation day is the ideal opportunity to get acquainted with flying. Chances are you’ve already flown a few meters above ground at the end of this day. If you get the taste here, you can further join for the full basic training and of course we will deduct the cost of this day.

Everything in one training, that is the concept of the starter training. This training has been made specifically for people who are eager to start and can’t easily make themselves available during weekends for the basic training. The intention is that you start from 0, without any experience, and by the end of the week you have done your first high flights. Without having to go to the basic training first.

During this 6-day training you will put the knowledge and experience of the teaching slope into practice. Most internships take in the French or Austrian Alps. We also travel to Greece, Spain, Slovenia, Italy. The first day is usually spent on getting acquainted with the material and the environment and a repetition of the principles learned on the teaching slope. And then… It’s time for the first high flights!

All major high flight trainings are tailored to your training level, because your personal learning path does not depend on someone else's level, every flight is unique and the guidance you receive is by definition personal. So whether you are a beginner,  progression level, or advanced level, you can always participate in a high flight training. However, the progression training is only for pilots in training who have almost achieved the initial license level with at least 20 high flights. 

For those unfamiliar with the concept, vol-biv is the pinnacle of paragliding: we move through the mountains with our flying and camping gear on our backs, and improvise everything along the way: starts, landing, flights, meals & overnight stays. We’re on the move for 5 days of hike and fly, 4 nights in the tent below the stars. We walk up the mountain, we take off from anywhere we can or like, and aim for days of 30-50km, depending on the meteo. At the latest in the evening we all come together around the campfire to share a meal and a place to spend the night. Next morning the fun starts all over again! On day 5 we return to our beginnings & car, by means of public transport or hitch hiking.
