Cloudbase XC – Paragliding

Fly 14 real Swiss paragliding regions in real terrain and live weather. Find the thermals, climb to cloudbase and set your cross-country record.

Launch from a real Swiss take-off, hunt for thermals under the clouds, circle up to cloudbase and fly as far as you can. Cloudbase XC is a cross-country paragliding game set in the real Alps.

REAL SWITZERLAND • 14 flying regions built from swisstopo height data, aerial imagery and place names: Bernese Oberland, Fiesch & Goms, Verbier, Engelberg–Rigi, Appenzell, Surselva, Davos, Jura, Ticino, Zermatt, Leukerbad, Gstaad, Chasseral and Amden • Real launch sites and landing fields, peaks and villages labelled as you fly past • Lakes, forests, glaciers and ridges exactly where they are

THERMALS AND WEATHER • Thermals trigger over sunny slopes and top out at cloudbase under the cumulus • Wind, sink, turbulence and the odd collapse keep you busy • Live weather: fly today's conditions with forecasts from MET Norway and measurements from MeteoSwiss, or pick a region's classic flying day • A vario that beeps faster the harder you climb

THREE TASKS • Free distance – as far from launch as you can get • Out & return – round a turnpoint and come back • FAI triangle – three legs, back to where you started

HANGAR • Earn stars on every flight and spend them on better gear • Wings from forgiving EN-A school gliders to EN-D competition wings • Thinner lines and a pod harness for the last bit of glide • Personal records for every region and task

EASY TO FLY • Tilt your device like a steering wheel, hold the screen halves for brakes, or use a game controller • Optional thermal markers for beginners

One region, the Bernese Oberland, is free to fly for as long as you like. A one-time purchase unlocks the other 13 regions – no subscription, no ads.

Cloudbase XC is a game. Never use it to plan real flights; always check the current site rules and weather.
