Slovak Paragliding

• School

Slovak Paragliding offers introductory, beginner and individual progression training. Its programme distinguishes free-flight paragliding from a separate powered course, which begins with unpowered training. The school names Peter and Štefan Vyparina as instructors, with options for newcomers and pilots seeking to develop existing skills.

The beginner course is centred on Plavnica and nearby training sites. Its published six-day outline starts with equipment preparation and classroom theory, moves through low flights and then progresses to higher flights before final assessment. The website makes thermalling during this stage conditional on particularly favourable weather, so it is not an automatic feature of every course. Progress depends on completing the exercises and suitable conditions, rather than simply reaching a particular day on the timetable.
