Flugschule Grenzenlos

  • School
  • Trip organiser

Flugschule Grenzenlos, also trading as Grenzenlos by Airnomads, is a German school based in Fulda that specialises in safety training (SIV) over water. It is run by instructor and SIV trainer Christina 'Tini' Siegl and the Colombian pilot and competition organiser Luis Fernando 'Lucho' Jimenez. Manoeuvres over water are coached by DHV-certified safety trainers, with automatic life jackets and a rescue boat always on standby.

Its main venue is Lake Annecy: pilots launch from Montmin on the Col de la Forclaz and land on a field reserved for SIV courses next to the La Nublière campsite in Doussard. There the school runs a six-day classic SIV course and the Master & Flow course, which splits the week between manoeuvres over the water and thermal and cross-country flying. Further SIV courses are held at Lake Idro in Italy. The courses are aimed at licensed pilots (A licence, brevet or equivalent).

Courses are normally taught in German; on selected dates the instructors give theory and radio instructions in English at the same time, and the school also lists Spanish among its teaching languages. Outside Europe it organises guided paragliding trips to Colombia and Peru with local guides.

Grenzenlos classic SIV training at Lake Annecy

Flugschule Grenzenlos

A six-day safety training course by Flugschule Grenzenlos over Lake Annecy with DHV-certified safety trainers. Pilots launch from Montmin on the Col de la Forclaz, around 800 m above the lake, and land on a field reserved for SIV courses by the La Nublière campsite in Doussard. Sunday is a preparation day with theory on flights over water, extreme flight situations and the reserve, a site briefing and an individual check of harness set-up and reserve release. From Monday to Thursday pilots usually fly two to three training flights over the water per day, followed after lunch by video analysis in small groups; on Friday they fly without video analysis and the course ends in the afternoon. Content follows each pilot's experience: newer pilots work on stabilising pitch, collapses of all kinds and descent techniques from big ears to the spiral dive, while more experienced pilots add accelerated collapses, autorotations, spin recovery and stalls, and finally wingovers, SAT or asymmetric spirals. A radio with earphones, an automatic life jacket, a rescue boat, downloadable flight videos and a manoeuvre manual are included; in strong wind the group practises ground handling on the Doussard landing field. Afternoons leave time for thermal flying, and the training can be credited towards the practical part of the B licence on request.

Grenzenlos Master & Flow: SIV and thermal training at Lake Annecy 2027

Flugschule Grenzenlos

Master & Flow is a six-day course by Flugschule Grenzenlos at Lake Annecy that combines safety training over the water with thermal flying training. The SIV part prepares pilots for turbulent thermal air: reactions to all types of collapses, cravats, autorotations and spins, stabilising pitch and roll, and mastering at least two effective rapid descent techniques, with radio guidance, an automatic life jacket, a rescue boat and video analysis of the flights. The thermal part covers entering a thermal, controlling the bank angle, centring and re-centring the core, reading terrain and clouds and in-flight decisions, from a first thermal experience to finding new thermals and the first cross-country kilometres, with support from the ground and from the air. The days are split between the two parts according to the weather. The course starts on Sunday morning in the school's group tent at the La Nublière campsite and ends on Friday afternoon or early evening. Theory modules on thermal and cross-country flying, radios, flight videos and a manoeuvre manual are included, and the practical content can be credited towards the B licence on request.
