Chamonix: a sublime setting for a paragliding flight

You can paraglide over Chamonix and its glaciers, right in front of Mont Blanc. It's the perfect opportunity to take your first paragliding flight amid breathtaking scenery, and remember it for the rest of your life!

All our instructors are fully qualified and insured by the FFVL (Fédération Française de Vol Libre).

Course of the paragliding flight :

  • Once you've reached the summit and the flight zone, you'll be fitted with a helmet + a briefing on how the flight works and the safety rules to follow.
  • A gentle take-off on a gentle slope facing Mont Blanc.
  • You'll be able to climb to an altitude of over 2,000 meters and admire the village of Chamonix, which will then seem miniature.
  • You can also try your hand at piloting under the guidance of your instructor.
  • Debriefing and feedback with your instructor.

Several options are available:
