Flugschule Pfronten is a small paragliding school in Pfronten in the eastern Allgäu. It was founded in 2009 and is run by Annegret “Gigi” Meyer, an aircraft engineer and paragliding and hang gliding instructor. By its own account the school specialises in B-licence (cross-country) training and tandem pilot training, so it mainly serves pilots who already hold an A licence. The German association DHV lists it as an approved school for exactly these two types of training.

Practical B-licence training is given individually by the instructor, and the theory is taught as an online seminar. Basic and high-flight training towards the A licence is offered in cooperation with another school on training sites in Oberstaufen; the programme also lists SIV safety training at Lake Garda and Lake Hallstatt. The school names the Breitenberg above Pfronten, the Buchenberg and the Tegelberg as its flying sites.

The school's tandem pilots fly passengers over Pfronten and the Allgäu foothills. The school includes a shop for gliders, harnesses, reserve parachutes and other gear, and equipment can also be hired.
