How flying works here
National body: Svenska Skärmflygförbundet (SSFF, Swedish Paragliding Association) (opens in a new tab)
Visiting pilots
- Visiting pilots need liability insurance with cover at least equal to Swedish members' insurance; accident insurance is strongly recommended.
- Sweden follows the IPPI system, and SSFF strongly recommends carrying your IPPI card when flying.
A short summary, not legal advice. Rules change, so check the current requirements with Svenska Skärmflygförbundet (SSFF, Swedish Paragliding Association) before you fly. Summary checked 13 Oct 2026.

- Start by contacting an SSFF-approved instructor and booking a student course; the SSFF site has an instructor finder.
