Booking Stage parapente cross

Cross autour du bassin annécien

No date available


You are the sailing pro !

 

Have you ever flown thermals in the jar, ever flown a few kilometres? Would you like to go further ?

Discover new sites and new lines? Well, thanks to our cross country courses, you will discover the Annécien basin from all these angles! Or rather all its thermals! How to fly safely, in a group, optimize the analysis...etc. All this is part of our content.

What level for a cross-country course ?

It is necessary to have the Brevet de pilote parapente (paragliding pilot's certificate), i.e. to be completely autonomous in taking off and landing. It is imperative to have already completed a thermalling course at K2 paragliding and also a piloting/SIV course at our school (less than 2 years old). In SIV you must be autonomous on certain manoeuvres such as pitching, collapses and 360° exits. 

Equipment: Approved wing, harness, helmet, radio, vario/GPS, mobile phone, water. 

A tracker will be provided for educational and safety purposes.

 

 

On the theory side

Like all our courses, the idea is to make you autonomous and not need us anymore! Therefore, we plan the day before the flight of the next day, analyse the weather report and the relief maps. Joint decision of the choice of the site. And above all to have an analysis together and how to fly as a group to help each other and be more efficient. 

After the flight, debriefing of the tracks. You will be equipped with a tracker, which records your flights. Viewing in 3D of all the tracks, technical errors, possible improvements...etc.

 

 

Safety and performance

At the beginning of the course we will do an individual assessment in order to better understand your strengths, weaknesses and expectations. During the week, we will see your progress, we will review your progress in order to better adapt the programme if necessary, and above all, we will look at your desires and abilities.

How the course works

 

Meet at 8am. We will do a check of the proper functioning of the rescue parachute extraction on a gantry on the first day. There will be a briefing on the safety instructions and the course, the exercises to be carried out, the different flight sites and the expected progression.

 

Together we will make a choice on the site where we will go. We can fly on sites all around the Annecy area, Mont Blanc, Aravis, etc. A maximum of 1H30 drive away. So the choice is wide!

 

The end time of the day is very variable depending on the conditions and the site of flight, and also the group! 

 

Groups are limited to a maximum of 6 people and the course lasts 5 days, from Monday to Friday.

 

Times may change depending on the weather. A quick snack will be provided during the day. Possibility to order or stop during the day at a bakery.

Regulation

  • We only accept payment by cheque and cash. Please note that there is no bank machine in our small village. It is therefore necessary to plan the method of payment before the course.

  • THANK YOU FOR YOUR LOYALTY
  • To thank you for your loyalty, we have launched the loyalty card which will be delivered to you at the time of your course.

    • It works for individual registration courses only.
    • This card is valid for two years. The tenth day of training will be offered to you.

Due to numerous abuses regarding withdrawals, we are forced to change our cancellation policy:

 

Cancellation by you / individual registration

A print of your credit card is taken when you register.
 

  • In a period greater than 45 days before the internship, 50€ administration fees will be collected.
  • Within 15 to 45 days, the sum of 50% of the internship will be systematically debited from your card. No refunds will be made.
  • In less than 15 days, the sum of 100% of the course will be systematically debited from your card. No refunds will be made.

 
We accept cancellations due to accident or illness (with presentation of a medical certificate) only if the event took place shortly before the course (less than 45 days before the date of the course). If the illness or accident happened for example 3 months before the course and the pilot warns us 10 days before then 100% of the course will be collected.

 

Cancellation by you / group registration

You will be asked for the total amount of the course to validate the registration of a group, either by credit card, transfer or check.
 
In case of complete cancellation of the group:

If a person in the group withdraws, it will be up to either the person or the group to find a replacement. If no replacement is found, the entire course will be billed to the group/club.
 
Cancellation during the course:
 
Any course interrupted for any reason whatsoever does not give rise to any reduction in price. The entire course will have to be paid.
For example, regarding weekday courses, if the driver is not available during the reserve day (Friday), the entire course will still be collected.
 
Cancellation by K2


Before the course, in the event of cancellation due to weather, no amount will be collected.
In this case, we will offer you a later training date as a replacement.

  • If no flight takes place: you will not be charged any payment.

  • If only one flight is made during the course, the sum of €110/person will be charged.
  • The management reserves the right to interrupt the participation of a trainee if their technical level or physical fitness does not correspond to that required. Under no circumstances will this interruption give rise to a refund or payment of compensation.

  1. All glider not approved.
  2. Paramotor glider not approved for paragliding.
  3. Glider approved in D, CCC and C in 2 lines.
