Hill soaring workshop with Marco
Learn thermal flying at the Glocknerhof
Slope soaring in thermals without an engine has a very special appeal. But what is the best way to do this? If gliding with electric gliders on the level already works reasonably well, just attend our hill soaring workshop.
Under the guidance of the experienced flight trainer Marco, each student pilot gains his first experience on the slope. A theoretical unit is followed by three days of practice directly on the house slope Rottenstein. Marco is happy to respond to the requirements and wishes of the seminar participants.
