Your paraglider needs maintenance to keep all its qualities.
Let us take care of it !
Make a reservation to save money!
and also not to be separated from your beloved equipment for too long!
COMPLETE check
- Every year from the 3rd year for a SOLO canopy
- Every year for a BIPLACE canopy
You can’t do better… …but you can’t do less either when the glider is more than 2 years old (or even less if it has been used intensively!).

DEPOSIT-SALE control
In case of doubt about the possibility of sale of the used sail, we make an inventory without replacement of the lines or possible repairs. This is the first part of a COMPLETE check.
We thus check the condition of the paraglider and we know the total cost of the COMPLETE control (without the possible supplement for the interventions on the Trimming), but it will be finished only in case of actual sale.
The advantages of DEPT-SALE control
- Only part of the FULL check is paid until the paraglider is sold.
- When selling, the FULL check will be completed and thus have the “today’s date”!
WARNING at the end of this partial check, the paraglider is UNABLE to fly!

TRIMMING check
Trimming is important! And it moves a lot more on recent paragliders which are more and more efficient and more and more “light”.
- Already after 20 hours of flying on a new paraglider!
- In case of doubt about the canopy behaviour
- Every year or even every 6 months (competition paragliding or intensively used) to find the factory characteristics of your paraglider.

For TRIMMING, we consider 3 categories of paragliders
moins de 90 attaches de suspente
Principalement des ailes de speedriding simple
de 90 à 200 attaches de suspente
Les modèles les plus répandus
Cette catégorie se divise en BIPLACE et SOLO
plus de 200 attaches de suspente
Principalement des ailes monosurface!
According to the total number of line attachments A, B, C, D… + brakes.
Given the technological changes and the mix of genres, our old categories (speedriding sailing, mini-paragliding, standard…) were no longer representative of the complexity of the checks to be carried out.
Price CHF 90. – for a paraglider (90 to 200 lines)
For a 3-year-old EN-B paraglider, this is usually around CHF 140. – with
- the average surcharge for the Trimming correction
TEST flight
This is the only way to be absolutely sure that everything is in order!
- Each new paraglider is tested in flight
- When in doubt about the behavior,
we can test your paraglider in flight!
In general, we do at least one TRIMMING check first.
Price CHF 120. – for a SOLO paraglider

| COMFORT | Yes | 1 | Yes | Yes | Yes | 1 | Yes |

Check before you fly!
Do a INFLATION to check:
- proper mounting of lines and maillons
- proper brake adjustment
- that the canopy has no unusual folds
We can also do this for you:
- INFLATION control
- TEST flight (INFLATION + flight)
No unnecessary costs on an unflyable paraglider!
The elimination stages (porosity and tear test) are done first, then the line resistance which can cause costs.
If there is a problem, we will let you know immediately. We will never do unnecessary tests on an old, unflyable paraglider!
Check out our friendly advice for flying with a free mind!
The different controls (and their prices!) are visible in our shop!
