Master the air
Read the clues, core lift and adjust your speed. Wind changes your ground speed and tilts thermal columns.

A living sky
Paragliding designed as a race
Every flight combines observation, positioning and risk. Conditions can be read, but no thermal can be mastered without precision.
Build your courses
Place turnpoints, tune thermals and wind, then share a deterministic seed so everyone flies identical conditions.
Fly together
Meet other pilots in classic rooms, share in-flight reactions and compare every choice in real time.
Grow your pilot
Earn medals, customize your equipment in the Garage and build your flight log.
Your call
Climb higher or leave now?
Staying in lift costs time. Leaving too low can cost the race. Watch the other wings, anticipate drift and turn every glide into a decision.
- Five speed regimes to balance speed and glide
- Thermals, clouds and vultures as atmospheric clues
- Official maps and shareable custom courses
