Five valley days with the same local team aim for confident solo flying, often restarting on the practice slope to tighten technique. 📌 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 Ground handling and wing control Launches and landings with radio support Reading valley wind and clouds Coached flights with instructor support 🌤️ What to Expect Each morning opens with weather and a launch choice that fits what you want to practice. A ground-handling refresh leads into solo flights when your control looks ready, with instructors on radio and often nearby. Afternoons may move to another launch or a theory block when thermals fade. We include rides to launch and pickup after landing. If you are returning after time away, the first days feel like a friendly refresh before longer thermal work. 📍 Location Courses run in and around Castejón de Sos in the Benasque Valley. Early work uses the Pendiente escuela practice slope; height flights use valley launches when the sky is good. After time on the practice slope, coached take-offs add height toward longer valley flights. Launch transport on course days is included, and instructors pick the site each morning. 🧭 Prerequisites Finish an initiation course or bring similar experience, with launches, landings and radio flying already in place. If you trained with us before, we pick up from your level; after a long break, early days refresh the basics before thermals return. Many students use school wings during progression, so allow time on the practice slope to get used to the kit. Reasonable fitness for walking on slopes with a pack helps on valley days. ⭐ Why Choose Us These five days pick up after initiation or a break away from flying, often back on the practice slope before longer valley flights return. If you trained with us before, we already know your style; if not, the first days refresh launches and landings before thermals come back into play. Good flying matters more than a scorecard of flight minutes. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Five days of quality-focused flying Equipment hire during the course Thermal and ridge sessions when conditions suit Theory on instruments, descent techniques and safety Transport and landing support 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? Valley days follow the weather, so you might stack a few short flights or one longer session when conditions smile. Mornings often begin on the school slope before moving to the day's launch. Coaches chase quality airtime, not a score on paper. Rides to launch and pickup after landing are part of valley course days when included in your course. ### 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? Flexible layers, gloves, sun cream and shoes with good grip for the school slope and launches. Share your experience and weight so kit is matched to you. Avoid scarves or loose items that could tangle in the lines during ground handling. ### 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-b415-7fc51c8b8f89/0524db23-5036-41b9-b63c-d892a115a6c1/original.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 0 ## 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.
