Oslo Paragliderklubb

• School

Oslo Paragliderklubb publishes a twelve-day beginner programme towards PP2 in Hemsedal. It moves from flat-ground exercises to higher flights, alongside theory in aerodynamics, equipment, meteorology and first aid. The offer includes loan wings, harnesses and helmets, transport to flying sites and a catch-up course if training is not completed. A PP2 training week and further instructor-supported weekend flying provide follow-up opportunities. No previous knowledge is required, and the club describes individual support for students.

The organisational FAQ recommends staying with fellow students and instructors at the Vangen clubhouse in Hemsedal, with accommodation included in the course. Participants must attend from the beginning; days can run from early morning until evening and include travel to suitable flying conditions. Groups usually organise meals through shared cooking. Students bring gloves, ankle-supporting footwear, clothing for varying weather and their own bedding. The club recommends waiting before buying flying equipment so it can help students choose suitable gear during the course.
