We are pleased about your interest in the offer of Gleitschirmschule Engelberg GmbH. Paragliding is considered a safe sport and is therefore not considered a risk sport by Swiss accident insurers.

These general terms and conditions form an integral part of this contract. We ask you to study them carefully.
