Paragliding Greece

Here are the impressions from our XC Seminar this June with our guest paragliding professionals Michael Nesler & Gudrun Oechsl.

A great occasion to happily greet and warmly welcome like always many paragliding pilots that joined our seminar, to push their boundaries and earn healthy experience in XC flying with our support.

The Olympic Wings venue Mount Olympus with it’s impressive valleys – high mountain plateaus – vast flatlands – Aegean Sea coastline once again gave us interesting conditions, amazing views, beautiful clouds and strong thermals; all of which the pilots conquered in their time in the sky.

Amongst enjoying the traditional scenery and hospitality of our region in Greece, a flexible everyday schedule was drafted containing a mixture of Theory and Practise, with daily meticulous weather forecast and topography briefing sessions.

Thermalling techniques theory sessions on body potitioning and thermal tracking in the sky, even take off and landing tips for the lower airtime pilots.
Meteorology subjects discussions from clouds to wind systems on recognizing, mapping and utilizing the flying conditions.

An interesting theory session on Mental Preparation and Mental Attidute in flying by Michael Nesler was proven to be very succesful to the pilots who then later proceeded to having incredible flights.

We thank Michael and Gudrun for their time with us.

We thank all the pilots for flying safe and choosing to fly with Olympic Wings!

Greetings to all
the Olympic Wings Team
