Imala Parapente

• School

Imala Parapente offers introductory training, progression, ITP 1 and 2 semi-autonomy courses, thermalling, SIV and cross-country flying. Further options cover bivouac flying, competition preparation and instructor training.

The 2026 calendar describes introductory days on Belgian practice slopes within 100 kilometres of Imala, chosen according to weather. They prepare students for high flights on a mountain course; an evening version is also listed. SIV at Annecy requires at least forty high flights. Mountain trips include exercises for different levels, including tandem qualification and ITP. The calendar also distinguishes shorter trips and thermal courses.

Alongside instruction, Imala offers equipment inspection and repair. Its website describes fabric porosity and strength checks, line and symmetry measurements, trimming and reserve repacking. It also sells new and used equipment and advises on choices appropriate to the pilot’s level; these pages do not specify equipment loans for the introductory course.
