This year we’re lucky enough to be hosting a Paragliding World Cup in Chelan, Washington USA! The PWC promises to bring the best pilots from all over the world to the U.S. for 7 days of top-notch competition at the world famous Chelan Butte. Chelan is known for strong thermals, big climbs to altitudes over 12K and long cross country flights. The last task of the 2008 XC Open was one of the longest competition triangles flown in the U.S coming in at 117K!

The PWC has their own sign up website and criteria for entry into their competition circuit. The sign up website and entry information can be found here: Paragliding World Cup

On this website you can find information on travel to Chelan and lodging once you get here. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Looking forward to seeing you at Chelan this summer!
