You're interested in hang-gliding and paragliding and you're wondering how much does a paraglider cost<\/strong> What if you decided to take to the skies? If so, here's a quick guide to help you work out the budget you'll need for apurchase of a paraglider<\/a> because this is an important criterion to take into account.<\/p>\n

Price of a new beginner paraglider :<\/h2>\n

When you're new to paragliding, we strongly advise you to opt for a glider classified as an En-A beginner. These beginner gliders are designed to offer maximum passive safety in flight, even without any action on the part of the pilot. This type of beginner glider forgives all the little mistakes of the first few flights and gets you out of potential flying incidents in record time.<\/p>\n

Price range for a new beginner paraglider: \u20ac2800 to \u20ac4300<\/strong><\/p>\n

Competition-type wings: the most expensive<\/h2>\n

At the other end of the range, for more experienced pilots aiming for distance records, are the En-D competition gliders. These gliders are much longer and perform much better, especially during long transitions or when breaking through the air mass. They are also more expensive to buy than the beginner gliders. In this range we find the famous Zeolite 2 GT from Ozone, the XC Racer from Flow and the X-ALPS from Skywalk.<\/p>\n

Price range for a new competition paraglider: \u20ac4300 to \u20ac5000<\/strong><\/p>\n

Between beginners' and competition sails, you'll find all the other types of sail, such as En-Bs, ideal for progression and first cross-country races, and En-Cs for really getting into the distance and breaking the 200km barrier.<\/p>\n

Mountain sails: lightweight and economical<\/h2>\n

Mountain sails have been designed for sportsmen and women who like to climb quickly to the top and fly back down. These paragliders are designed to be as light as possible, so that you can forget about them when you're climbing. Combined with a minimalist string harness, these models allow you to make sparks fly and walk.<\/p>\n

A truly generous range of used equipment:<\/h2>\n

The advantage of paragliding is the incredible amount of second-hand equipment available on the market. A glider can easily be 10 years old, and as pilots evolve technically over the course of their career, changing from a category A glider to a new category B glider is almost systematic. The same applies to pilots moving from a category B paraglider to a model with category C certification. The availability of second-hand equipment makes it possible tobuy your first sail for less<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What's more, sellers can have their second-hand glider serviced before the sale. The overhaul workshop will then, among other things, assess the wing's wear and tear and its remaining lifespan. So you can buy second-hand equipment in complete confidence with a valid overhaul certificate. Many sites such as Leboncoin<\/a> or Used paragliders<\/a> to find what you're looking for online.<\/p>\n

The price of a second-hand glider will therefore depend on its remaining lifespan, but also on a certain discount depending on the obsolescence of the glider's technology compared with more recent models and versions.<\/p>\n
