Flying site

"Fasterholt Hanggliding & Paragliding Center" is located just outside the small village of Fasterholt not far from Herning in central Demark.

"Fasterholt Hanggliding & Paragliding Center" is a traditional hang gliding and paragliding club run by and for its members. Flying courses and training are carried out on a voluntary basis by certified instructors using gliders owned by the club. The address is Fasterholt Hanggliding & Paragliding Center, Brandevej 14, DK-7330 Brande, Denmark.

Please note that "Fasterholt Hanggliding & Paragliding Center" is not a commercial operation. The tow field is manned every holliday and weekend from April through September. During the flying season every club member has to be "on duty" two individual days driving the tow vehicles and act as watchman etc. so other club members can fly. We welcome all pilots - both hang gliders and paragliders - from other clubs and/or countries to come visit us and fly.

Some paraglider pilots prefer winch towing which our club cannot provide. However, our experienced club members also perform safe and reliable tows of paragliders using cars.

During competitions the towing fee is included into the entry fee.
Usual day towing - each launch is 40 DKK (Approx. 5.3 €) with no other additional fees.
