Organizer: Papillon Paragliding
A four-day initial course at the Alpen-Paragliding-Center Stubai in Neustift, run by Papillon together with the local school Parafly. After running and inflation exercises, students make 15 training-slope flights with gradually increasing height difference up to 100 m, guided by an instructor over the radio; theory is covered in non-flying weather. The goal is readiness for a first high flight. Training equipment, liability insurance, radio guidance and landing fees are included; lift tickets are extra. The course equals the first four days of the Kombikurs.
