Apart from the documentation required by the Paragliding World Cup Association (see the 2006 Paragliding World Cup International Competition Rules), the following documents are required by all non-swiss pilots in order to legally fly in Switzerland and therefore compete in the 2008 World Cup in Grindelwald:

• International Pilot License (CIVL IPPI card ), Level IV or Level V. This card must be acquired through your national association.
• Proof of Third Party Liability Insurance with a minimum coverage of 2 Million Swiss Francs (700'000 EUR). Please contact us as soon as possible if you won't be able to attain such an insurance.

Both documents will be checked during Final Registration, and only pilots who can provide them will be allowed to compete. No exceptions.

The standard swiss pilot liability insurance is 2 Million CHF. Pilots who are not covered have the possibility to purchase this insurance. The annual premium for this insurance is 75 CHF.—

We recommend all pilots to have hospital and rescue insurance for overseas. Helicopter rescue is free of charge for all REGA patrons (members). The annual fee is 30 CHF.
