Beginner course

Bassano mountain course (Paragliding Holland)

A six-day mountain course in Bassano below Monte Grappa for complete beginners and for semi-advanced pilots with winch training or a few mountain flights. Beginners learn the forward launch, in-flight exercises, the landing circuit and theory of flight, aerodynamics and meteorology, aiming at their first high flights of at least 300 m and the License 1 theory exam. Semi-advanced pilots work towards flying independently in the mountains at Brevet 2 level, including reverse launches, thermalling and landing in varied conditions. The group flies from five take-offs on the Monte Grappa massif and each day ends with a flight review. Equipment hire is included for beginners; accommodation at a paragliding hotel by the main landing field, minibus shuttles and the weekly take-off fee are paid separately. Some weeks are taught entirely in English.
