Zeeland de Luxe – Week – Workshop for dune soaring and paraglider control
Experience an Exclusive Paragliding Training by the Sea. Train in small groups with personalized instruction in Zeeland’s stunning dune landscapes in the south of the Netherlands. Near Zoutelande, a breathtaking dune rises up to 50 meters and stretches for about 10 kilometers. The steady sea breeze provides perfect conditions for hours of soaring and mastering paraglider control by the coast.
Optimal Training Conditions
The wide sandy beach serves both as a training ground for paraglider control and as a comfortable landing area for dune soaring. Smaller handling gliders are available for strong wind exercises. Radio assistance is provided during ground training, takeoff, and flight. Depending on wind direction, we explore scenic flying spots in Zeeland. If traveling to other flight areas, we form local carpool groups; fuel and parking costs are shared accordingly.
