Individual paragliding course with Manta
Manta Paragliding School & Store
The individual version of the basic course for the Italian VDS certificate at the Manta school in Borso del Grappa below Monte Grappa. Structure, requirements and content are the same as in the regular course, but the student arranges the schedule day by day with a personal instructor, and lessons run even with a single participant. There is no fixed calendar or length: you can start whenever you like and take the exam when you are ready. Students can also join the regular course's group lessons.

Paragliding course on Monte Grappa with Manta
Manta Paragliding School & Store
Basic course for the Italian VDS free-flight certificate at the certified Manta school in Borso del Grappa. Phase one (roughly 5–10 days depending on weather and attendance) covers training on the school slope, at least one instructional tandem flight and the first radio-guided high flights. Phase two (roughly 10–20 days, which can be spread out to suit the student) continues up to the 45th high flight: it refines launches and landings including reverse launches, practises the exam manoeuvres and first soaring, and includes a second tandem flight. Theory totals about 30 hours and can also be followed remotely. Flying takes place mainly on Monte Grappa and at the school's private take-off near Marostica/Conco, with trips during the course to Feltre, Campo Tures or Meduno. Insurance, manual, school equipment including radio, 20 shuttle rides, radio guidance, a pre-exam and the official Aero Club d'Italia exam are included; the certificate issue fee is paid separately. At most nine students train per day.

Thermal and XC coaching on Monte Grappa with Manta
Manta Paragliding School & Store
Personal coaching for pilots who already fly and want to progress on Monte Grappa: in thermal flying, more efficient transitions or preparing for longer cross-country flights. The content is adapted to the pilot's experience, goals and the day's conditions and, depending on the session, includes flight planning, discussion of the forecast and local aerology, observation of your flying with technical feedback and a post-flight debrief. The offer is aimed mainly at visiting pilots; options need to be agreed with the school in advance.
