I kite and ski but have no experience paragliding or skydiving (yet). Simply amazed by the footage I have seen and would be very interested in trying this some day soon. Is there a minimum skill-set necessary to try this. Any suggestions for best way to safely get introduced to the sport? Any contact info for those who may be qualified to offer instruction?
Many Thanks,
Jlouie

Hello Jlouie

In switzerland you need a paragliding lisence to do speed-flying. In France you can start without any lisence and they have schools there.

If you are a good skier it will help you.

good luck!!
