Active thermal flights will not only delight any hang-glider pilot – they are also essential for cross-country flying.

Our thermal training will introduce you to all meteorological factors and give you practical tips on how to find and identify thermals. You will learn how to correctly judge weather conditions, how to centre on thermals correctly and safely, and how to actively fly in thermals!
