All you need to know about paragliding

Depending on what you’re looking for, paragliding schools generally offer a number of different options:

• The discovery formula: this is a tandem experience in which the pilot takes control of the paraglider from start to finish.
• A sensational first flight in a two-seater paraglider: this is an acrobatic flight session in which the instructor will perform various aerial manoeuvres such as loops, 360s, stalls and wing overs in which you pass over the glider.
• Introduction to flying: perfect for people who want to take the controls! You can also participate in paragliding courses, during which you will learn the basics of paragliding, combining theory, practice and study of the aerology.

When you arrive, you'll be given a briefing on the flight and the safety instructions to be followed, before being kitted out. You take off on a slope, running to inflate the glider. No need to jump! The pilot will then take control as you enjoy the view!
