Further information:
- Accident insurance is the responsibility of the participant
- Please note: As storage space is limited, please only bring small rucksacks / bags or little luggage.
- In Swiss legislation paragliding is not a ‘high-risk sport’. Therefore, your (in Switzerland) compulsory non-occupational accident insurance is sufficient. If you do not have such insurance, you must declare this when booking, otherwise you will not be able to fly. If you are unsure, please enquire with your accident insurance company. In addition, every pilot is legally obliged to take out liability insurance.
- And: you don't need to be afraid of heights. Interestingly, this is practically never a problem when paragliding ...
- IMPORTANT; Always state your age, body weight and any disabilities when booking. Also for group bookings (for each participant individually).
