Location

Interlaken / Switzerland – where champions like Chrigel Maurer,  Steve Cox, Sebastian Ospina and many more grew up. Interlaken faces the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau, where early adventurers from Europe had their first view of the majestic, snow-covered mountains that would so inspire them. A spirit of adventure was born here many years ago – paragliding is the most recent example.

The starting point is always the Chill Out base in the centre of Interlaken. The aim is to get to know new launch sites and flying areas whenever possible.

Accomodation

You should organise your own accommodation near the Chill Out base at Rugenparkstrasse 9 in Interlaken. We recommend that you travel by train, as parking spaces in Interlaken are generally limited.

Coach

Kari Eisenhut, Chill Out Paragliding AG founder, will personally lead the camp together with his team. He is a SHV flight instructor, ADVANCE test pilot, European paragliding champion and overall World Cup winner and cross-country champion.

Price

The price includes theory, paragliding pick-up service, briefing & de-briefing and individual support. Accommodation, meals and public transport are not included in the price.

Insurance

Registration is binding. We recommend that you arrange cancellation insurance.

ORGANISATION

• We keep the group size small (up to max. 10 pilots) so that we can pass on our knowledge and experience personally – to you as an individual.
• You will be looked after by specialists: generally with 2 guides and the Chill-Out pick-up service
• Independent flying is important to us: We do NOT guide you by radio – briefing helps you visualise your expectations. By de-briefing we can point out your strengths, and indicate your potential to improve on them.
