Tolmin – XC Course, Slovenia

27th of May – 3 of June 2022

You know how to thermal up to cloud base but don’t know where to go next?
The aim of this course is to improve your cross country skills so you can enjoy longer airtime. You will get coaching in the air and on the ground.

The Soça valley in Slovenia is the center for outdoor activities in Europe and famous for paragliding. It offers easy and reliable XC flights for all levels of pilots. The air in Slovenia is never so rowdy or rough. There are plenty of official landings in the valley with windsocks.

The valley is one of the most scenic and memorable in Europe, with
the emerald green Soça river that flows along the center. You can see the Dolomites in the west on a clear day, but the region is dominated by 3,000 m of Triglav in the north.
