Flugschule Edelweiss is a Bavarian paragliding school operated by Flugschule Edelweiss GmbH, based in Sauerlach south of Munich. In Sauerlach the school runs a paragliding equipment shop that also hosts training sessions and talks. Its training centre is in Bad Kohlgrub at the Hörnle in the Ammergau Alps.

Basic courses take place on the Hörnle. The week-long high-flight course, with the full theory and the DHV examination for the German A licence, is held in Wildschönau in Tyrol or in Bassano del Grappa in Italy. For pilots after the A licence the school offers B-licence theory and practice, launch and reserve-throw training, and trips with thermal and flight-technique training, including to Bassano and Meduno. Trips are led by two DHV instructors, at least one of them a DHV performance trainer.

The school also offers tandem flights from the Brauneck, the Hörnle and the Markbachjoch and repacks reserves. Periodic wing checks are handled through partner workshops.
