About paragliding
Tandem paragliding is a wonderful invention that allows non-initiated person to experience the sensation of free flying. Paragliding is nowadays the simplest way to fly: all the equipment fits in a backpack, take-off is done by foot, and we can fly for hours if weather permits.
As soon as we are airborn, you feel the air on your face and enjoy this unique perspective.
We commonly see wildlife from above, and sometimes, eagles come to share a few turns with us, we're in their world...
For your first paragliding tandem flight, we recommend you choose Chamonix Planpraz which is suitable for most people, easy to access and flyable for most weather conditions. The view from the take-off point is worth the trip at itself !
With children, we usualy fly early in the morning when conditions are calm. For adults, we need to know your weight and height so that we can choose the best time of day.
Paragliding jump is a term that is often heard but not quite accurate because the take-off is actualy very gradual. That's why we talk about paragliding flight and take off, as we commonly compare it to an airplane take off.
Once in the air, you will be comfortably seated and then just have to enjoy this incredible feeling and admire the scenery. Your hands are free and can even take selfies!
Paragliding can still provide strong sensations for those who want it, and we will be there to pump up the adrenaline for those who want it! You will also have the opportunity to take the controls.
You won't experience vertigo as this sensation only appears when your feet are on ground. So don't hesitate any longer and come fly with us and take a big breath of fresh air !
