Infinity are devoted to paragliding, it’s ingrained in our soul and spirit. We are dedicated to providing quality instruction so our students develop into proficient pilots. This inspires them to have respect and an understanding for aviation and therefore a great time paragliding for years to come.
Infinity are based in Queenstown and operate at some of the finest paragliding sites in New Zealand. The sites used for training offer a fantastic environment for learning with a 750m vertical height difference between take-off and the world class landing facility `The Flightpark`. As a result of this, students have more time in the air which translates to more time for learning and developing skills while under instruction.
We also have a range of other dynamic and thermal soaring sites which we use regularly to teach different techniques and inspire confidence. We aim to have you, the student, actively flying all the local sites prior to your PG2 being issued, including the Queenstown Skyline Gondola.
Once you have gained your PG2 there are an abundance of sites in the area, enough to last a lifetime!
So, the soul and spirit of the school is good, the sites are good, what about the instructors?
