We pick launch sites each morning from the weather and keep the drills practical. 📌 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 Flying close to terrain on speed wings Using speed bars and trim settings safely Short-field landings and picking a landing spot Reading wind and terrain for speed wings 🌤️ What to Expect Mornings start at the briefing room or practice slope with a weather check and a launch plan for the day. We refresh inflations and speed-bar checks before coached flights on close terrain lines or short approaches. Afternoons use the best weather window, sometimes several short hops and sometimes one longer block. Your coach stays on radio and adjusts the plan if conditions soften. We check the forecast in the evening for tomorrow. 📍 Location Launches around the Benasque Valley, and sometimes near Cerler, give us hills that suit small wings when the forecast allows. We keep hops short in strong wind and move sites if cloud or pickup time changes the plan. We are based in Castejón de Sos and include transport to the day's launch. Valley wind and alpine slopes here make a natural classroom for speed flying. 🧭 Prerequisites You need to launch, fly and land on your own on a paraglider or small speed wing before this course. We work in light and strong wind, with close-flying drills only when your control is ready. Pack warm flexible layers and boots for rocky launches. Tell us if you bring your own speed wing so we can check it is right for training. ⭐ Why Choose Us Instructors here fly paragliding and speedflying in the same valley, so they pick launch sites from the morning forecast instead of running everyone through a fixed circuit. We work in light wind and strong wind when you are ready, with rides to launch and pickup after landing. Quality flying beats padding a flight total. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Five days (about four hours per day) Proximity and descent-focused flying Launch and landing drills in varied wind Theory on trimmers and wing behaviour Transport and retrieves 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? School speedflying wings, harnesses and helmets are included for coached sessions. Pack flexible layers and boots that work on rocky launch sites. If you fly your own speed wing, mention it beforehand so an instructor can check it is right for training days. ### 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/b5ce2c7a-97b7-40f9-a335-f2b5766a83d2/original.png - **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.
