Flying well starts with being in good hands
A paragliding school in el Berguedà founded on a simple principle: you entrust us with your dream of flying, and we honor that trust with uncompromised safety and care.
Why the Catalan Paragliding School
You learn from people who fly
Instructors holding the official Sports Technician in Paragliding qualification, recognised by the FAC, who still compete. Each one brings a discipline to the team.
-
Free distance
Hours of thermalling and strategy in competition. That is what trains the eye that decides where and when you fly.
-
Acro
Wing control taken to the extreme. What is trained there is what carries you calmly on a tandem flight.
-
Hike & Fly
The mountain on foot and the flight in the same day. Knowing the terrain from below also shows from above.

What we are not
- If you think chasing emotion means taking risks
- Not at all. You choose how much adrenaline you want; we ensure every maneuver is executed within strict safety margins.
- If you think we're a low-cost brand with hidden costs
- The published price is definitive and transparent. We continuously invest in state-of-the-art flight equipment and continuous training to provide top-tier safety and experience.
- If you think we're a quick-baptism operator
- Nobody rushes flights here. We give every flight the dedicated time it deserves: comprehensive briefings, calm launches, and peaceful flight time with safety as our top priority.
- If you think you have to travel far to learn to fly
- Just over an hour from Barcelona, Avià (el Berguedà) is one of the premier paragliding locations in Southern Europe: reliable flying conditions year-round with deeply experienced local instructors.
- If you think we're hard to reach
- We are easily accessible via the C-16 highway, just over an hour from Barcelona and 5 minutes from Berga. We also offer dedicated round-trip transport from central Barcelona for guests without a car.
