XC camp

onair XC seminar over the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps 2027

Organizer: onair Paragliding Center ↗

A week-long cross-country seminar by onair for pilots who can already find and centre thermals on their own and want to make their first XC flights. From the school in Bach in the Lechtal the group heads for different mountains in North Tyrol, aiming for cross-country flights over the Allgäu and Lechtal Alps that build up, weather permitting, from 20 to 80 km. Every day starts with a weather briefing and preparation of the flying day with route planning, tactics and an airspace overview; the school provides transport to launch, radio contact and a retrieve vehicle, and the flights are debriefed and analysed afterwards. There are at most six pilots per instructor. Seven flying days are planned, and the seminar is cancelled or moved if the forecast does not promise at least three days suitable for cross-country flying. Accommodation, meals, lift tickets and site fees outside the Jöchelspitze are paid by the pilots.
