Activity description

Enjoy an unforgettable aerial experience near Arcachon with a paragliding flight over the Dune du Pilat!

North of Biscarosse in the Landes, the Dune du Pilat is a must-see natural site near Arcachon. The highest dune in Europe, it offers an exceptional landscape not to be missed! And to enjoy it in an original way, while getting the best possible views, paragliding over the Dune du Pilat is the best thing to do. State-qualified instructors invite you to join them on the Petit Nice beach, halfway between Arcachon and Biscarosse, for a 10, 20 or 30-minute tandem paragliding flight over the Dune du Pilat.

Depending on your choice, this flight can be a simple moment of contemplation or a thrilling experience! After taking off from the top of a dune on the beach of the Petit Nice, you will have the pleasure of admiring a magnificent landscape from the air: the Banc d'Arguin and Cap Ferret can be seen alongside the Dune du Pilat, and on your return to Petit Nice, you will discover the Landes forest stretching out before your eyes. You will have plenty of incredible memories!

In total safety, with an instructor accompanying you in tandem, this paragliding flight over the Dune du Pilat will give you a unique experience above one of the most emblematic sites around Arcachon!
