Bassano mountain course (Paragliding Holland)
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.

Bassano thermalling course (Paragliding Holland)
Paragliding Holland
A six-day thermalling course in Bassano below Monte Grappa, designed as the step between the school's mountain courses and its cross-country courses. Rather than exercises, it concentrates on thermals: where to find them, how to enter and leave a climb, how to centre and fly it efficiently, what to do in strong thermals with collapses or frontal collapses, and what an outlanding involves. Groups are limited to twelve pilots. Equipment is not included but can be hired; accommodation, shuttles to take-off and the weekly take-off fee are extra. Some weeks are taught entirely in English.

Bassano XC light 2027 (Paragliding Holland)
Paragliding Holland
A six-day cross-country course in Bassano for Brevet 2 pilots who want to start flying distance along the ridges of the Monte Grappa massif. According to the school, the lighter XC light format also suits pilots whose only rapid-descent techniques so far are big ears and speed bar. The school's XC courses are led by at least two experienced XC pilots in radio contact with a group of up to ten. The programme covers morning weather briefings, valley wind systems, route planning, instruments, descent techniques, reading the sky and terrain and the risks of strong thermals; every participant gets a live tracker. XC week locations are flexible: in poor weather the school may move the course to another mountain area and confirms the final location at least four days before the start.
