Activity description

Enjoy a tandem paragliding flight over Chamonix and its mountains from Planpraz with an experienced pilot!

A first paragliding experience in Chamonix is the ideal way to discover the most beautiful panoramas in Haute-Savoie from the air, even if you have never flown before in your life! At 1,000 metres above the Chamonix valley, you will take off from Planpraz, at the top of the Brévent cable car, without any feeling of vertigo as your feet won't touch the ground during the flight. You will experience this superb paragliding flight over Chamonix with a qualified and experienced pilot, who will offer you different types of flight to suit all your needs:

Discovery flight - a classic flight of around 20 minutes, perfect for a calm first experience, to which you can add an introduction to piloting if you wish;

Freestyle flight - a flight of around 25 minutes including acrobatics to satisfy those in search of adrenalin during their flight over Chamonix facing Mont Blanc;

XL flight - identical to the classic flight, but with an extra 10 minutes to enjoy the scenery around you for longer;

XXL Freestyle flight - a flight lasting between 45 minutes and 1 hour so you can discover all the pleasures of paragliding in Chamonix: breathtaking panoramas, but also acrobatics and an introduction to piloting if you wish!

There is no better place than Chamonix-Mont-Blanc to discover paragliding facing Mont Blanc and its breathtaking scenery. So book your paragliding flight over Chamonix now and take to the skies from Planpraz for a sensational experience!

L’activité était magique ! Les conditions météo ne permettaient pas de faire un vol de 45min-1h donc le vol s’est fait en 2 fois pour comptabiliser. Pendant l’activité, tout s’est très bien passé hormis le mal aux cœur dues aux voltiges acrobatique 😅
