Chill Out Paragliding

• School

Chill Out Paragliding begins with a five-day continuous course based in Interlaken. Practice on level ground and training slopes leads to first high flights from Beatenberg, with at least four included. The course provides full equipment, theory, liability insurance and school minibus transport. Group tuition is in German, while individual coaching can be in English. The minimum age is 15.

The foundation course leads into the Brevetkurs. The school outlines approximately 20–25 teaching days for this stage, with overall progress dependent on weather and student availability. It offers weekend and weekday teaching, intensive weeks and summer evening flights. Groups have a maximum of 12 students. The programme includes weather briefings, daily themes and flight tasks, ground-handling workshops and a mock examination.

For local orientation, the school publishes an Interlaken flying-area map showing valley wind, lee rotors and heliports. It also links to airspace maps and local club information. These resources supplement the training overview with practical material for learning about the region.
