About Us
Here at The Para Lab, we take a maximum of 6 people per course and support this with at least 3 highly experienced instructors. The key to our excellence in teaching is the incredible talent and depth of experience of our Paramotor instructors as well as having a low student to instructor ratio.
Paramotoring in Spain
The Labs exclusive and private airfield and training slopes allows for beginners to progress quickly to powered flight. For those who can already paraglide we offer a 1 week training course to get your Paramotor CP or Pilot rating. Those who can already fly will be able to fly XC’s from our facility, as part of our Adventure Tours, flying over old castles, beaches, lakes and landing near outstanding local restaurants for lunch.
Trike flying is simple too and if you’d like to learn, we’ll teach you on the very newest lightweight trike. This is a great way for people with back problems or trouble running to get into this wonderful sport.
You will be completely spoiled from the moment you arrive. All meals and drinks are included and our meals use the best local ingredients so you’ll get a real taste of local Spain. On your arrival we hold a welcome meeting with drinks and canapés by the pool, making you feel at home.
Of course, you will have your own room, allowing you to relax in comfort.
Our villa has everything you’d expect from a location of this calibre including wifi, DVD, sound system, etc.
Unlike most other schools, we are so confident in our training approach that if you damage any equipment, we are willing to pay 1/3 of the cost!
No Hidden Fees!
Private Accommodation, Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Fuel, Airport Transfers & après flying Alcohol(!) are all included in the course cost
Paramotoring in the UK
Either in Dorset or East Sussex, we have access to some fantastic training fields & slopes in order to take you on your first hops to your BHPA Elementary Pilot, or further to gaining your BHPA Club Pilot rating.
Our schools (Flight Culture & Sky Paragliding UK) can also take you onto your Paragliding Hill rating, in case you get the bug for free flying after completion of your course!
