The week suits pilots who already fly solo and want distance skills without starting from first heights. 📌 Key Details Duration: 5 days Location: Castejón de Sos, Benasque Valley, Spain Age requirements: 14+ with parental consent for minors Group size: Small groups of up to six with the same coach 🎯 Key Skills Planning cross-country routes Flying safely between valleys Flying in a group with clear pickup plans Using phone apps to support navigation 🌤️ What to Expect Each day starts with a weather chat and a route idea that fits the thermals and wind we expect. We often launch from a familiar site, then fly longer glides toward the next valley with your instructor on radio for spacing and pickup plans. After each flight we debrief so the next one has a clear aim. Some days add a second flying window; others turn into map and theory time when the sky is not safe. We drive you to launch and pick you up after landing. Evenings are free while your coach checks the next day. 📍 Location Cross-country flying starts from launches around Castejón de Sos and nearby valleys, with routes that can aim toward peaks like Aneto when thermals and wind cooperate. Instructors pick the best ridge for that morning rather than sticking to one hill. We include transport to take-off and pickup after landing. Over five days you can fly in more than one area when the weather allows. Plans are set each morning from live conditions, not a fixed route map. 🧭 Prerequisites You should already fly solo with some thermal experience and recent time in the valley. This week is about distance and navigation, not first solo flights. Valid paragliding insurance (federation cover where your licence needs it) is essential. Be ready for full flying days when weather allows. Courses need a minimum group; we may combine smaller bookings when we can. ⭐ Why Choose Us Local pilots who fly this valley every season lead the week, with years of practice reading thermals, valley wind and pickup plans after longer flights. We aim for worthwhile distance days in more than one area when the sky allows, with rides to launch and pickup included. Evenings are yours while coaches check the forecast. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Five effective flying days oriented to quality Guided cross flights in multiple valley zones Transport and retrieve support Theory on cross planning, apps and group protocols Activity insurance ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point Personal travel insurance Food and drinks Ski pass on Cerler-based courses where stated Federation insurance where your discipline requires it ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### How many hours do we fly each day? Cross-country days follow the valley weather, so you might enjoy one long glide or several shorter hops between sites when thermals allow. Pilots prioritise smart route choices over a flight tally. Some evenings turn into map chats if the sky is not cooperating, and that is part of the game too. ### Is equipment included? Training paragliders, harnesses, helmets and radios are included while you are with the coaches. Flexible layers and sturdy shoes for the school slope are on you. Share your weight and experience beforehand so the right wing size is ready on day one. ### What happens if the weather is poor? Paragliding lives on wind, cloud base and thermals. If a launch is not safe, your instructor moves the plan or waits for a better window instead of flying in sketchy conditions. We stay in touch to rearrange when needed. The Benasque Valley has its own micro-climates, so calls are made on the ground where it matters. ### Where do we meet? Valley courses usually start at our base in Castejón de Sos at a time we agree by message. Parking is available in the village; give yourself a moment to find the office if it is your first visit. Launch sites change with the wind and your level. Each morning your instructor confirms where to head once the weather check is done. ### What should I bring? Layer up for mountain days: gloves, sun protection, solid boots and any instruments you normally fly with. Recent flying notes help us plan routes that suit you. Keep loose jewellery and scarves off the hill so nothing snags the lines at launch. ### Is transport included? Valley paragliding courses include rides to launch and pickup after landing when that is part of the course. That way you spend energy on flying, not on shuffling cars. Cerler speedriding is a separate mountain product with its own pass rules. Getting to Castejón de Sos for valley days is down to you unless we agree something different by message. ### Do you use video feedback? We often film key moments so you can see your body position and wing control with your coach afterwards. Clips are for learning, not for show reels. Video backs up radio coaching in the air and helps the next launch feel clearer. Reviews usually happen while the kit is still on so fixes stick faster. ### How big are the groups? Groups stay small so every take-off and landing gets proper attention. You will often fly alongside people at a similar level, which makes the week social as well as focused. If wind or lifts change the timetable, the plan flexes to the next good slot. We would rather keep you safe and enjoying the mountain than chase a rigid schedule. ### Are courses suitable for teenagers? Teenagers are welcome on many courses with parental consent when fitness and experience fit the activity. A parent or guardian should stay nearby for minors. Tell us each person's age and recent flying or skiing experience ahead of time so we can match kit and launch sites properly. ### Will I fly solo? Progression, cross-country and adaptation courses expect you to launch, fly and land with light support. Coaches still brief every flight and debrief on the ground. If you have had a break from the sport, tell us when you last flew so the first days feel like a friendly refresh, not a shock. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://media.adventuro.com/public/5c96f7ca-000b-401f-b415-7fc51c8b8f89/b17cbe95-115b-4ba5-ad24-d53712d298c3/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 2 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
