Conditions of use

Cumulux Paragliding Club A.s.b.l. is the operator of the paragliding areas Gringlay, Michelau and Kautenbach.

We ask you to form car pools and, if possible, to walk up to the launch sites in order to keep the number of cars at the launch sites as low as possible.

All areas are regularly maintained. However, if you notice anything or if there are any problems, you can report them to us using the contact form.

Our sites are forbidden to paramotors. Flying schools are not allowed to use the site for training purposes. Each pilot flies under his own responsibility and must be able to estimate the dangers and risks involved. The Cumulux Paragliding Club accepts no responsibility for accidents or damage caused to yourself or third parties.
