Beginners XC Camp Alps

Our beginner XC camp in Greifenburg is aimed at pilots with little experience in cross-country flying.

Together we will deepen the fundamental aspects of cross-country flying in the Alps. In the daily theoretical inputs, we provide you with the latest knowledge and then practice it directly. Of course, debriefings are also included.

We focus on the following topics: weather-adapted flight planning, control technology for optimal thermal flying and ideal gliding, cross-country flight tactics, risk management.

Weather permitting, we fly small to medium-sized routes every day. The guides support you via radio and accompany the group in the air.

We chose Greifenburg as our location for several reasons: The flying area works in many different wind directions. The valley is wide and has many suitable landing spots, allowing you to concentrate on flying without stress. The topography, the shape of the valley, and the local wind systems are typical of the Alps. The region thus serves as a good example for large parts of the Alps.

The aim of this camp is to prepare participants in the best possible way for independent cross-country flying projects in the Alps.
