Womens Paragliding Open 2010 - Venue Àger, Spain

Àger valley
After long negotiations and much research we have chosen the site for the 2010 Womens Paragliding Open. We will go to Àger in northern Spain during the last week of August ( 21st - 28th 2010)
There were many reasons for this decision.
One of the significant factors was that due to so many events of the Paragliding World Cup, the European Championship and Asian Championship there was little opportunity available during best season in the Alps, and so we needed to find place with an experienced local organisation and reliable weather during the late part of the summer season.
The proposal from Àger met all the criteria for experience, safety, accessibility and local support as well as offering us an exciting and challenging place to fly. As a consequence of the semi-mountain / semi-flatlands terrain we know we can offer a high level sportive event in Àger whilst still encouraging pilots with less competition experience.
We look forward to flying with you soon...
