15 to 30 min paragliding flight suitable for adults & children
Realise man's oldest dream and discover the simple pleasure of a tandem paragliding-flight. The best way to discover Chamonix Valley and Mont-Blanc massif
What to expect:
Launching: Your active participation will be required with a short run for the take-off along a gentle slope, the wing lifts you off the ground (there is no sensation of falling). In fact, a good launch feels similar to an airplane taking off.
The flight: Just relax in a very comfortable sit-harness and enjoy an amazing view facing the highest mountains of Europe! You will have your hands free enabling you to take photos or video. You will also be able to learn the basics of piloting and if you want the pilot will even let you take control.
Touchdown and landing: Again your active participation will be required with a short run on landing which is easy and generally gentle, according to the valley wind.
You can choose to do this activity from Brévent 2000m (usually in the morning) or Plan de l’Aiguille 2317m.(in the afternoon). Please note, it is not permitted to fly from Plan de L'Aiguille during July & August.
