Activity description

Take a new look at the village of La Clusaz and the Aravis massif on a tandem paragliding flight from the Crêt du Merle or the Crêt du Loup!

Paragliding in La Clusaz is an activity that can be enjoyed in both summer and winter, and is one of the not-to-be-missed experiences in the Aravis massif. From the Crêt du Merle or the Crêt du Loup (depending on the flight chosen and the day's weather conditions), you will have the pleasure of taking off for an unforgettable flight with not only splendid panoramas before your eyes, but also acrobatics to give you some great thrills in the great outdoors! There are 2 different flights on offer to ensure you get the most out of your first paragliding experience in La Clusaz:

Discovery flight - a short 5-minute flight from the Crêt du Merle with a height difference of 380 metres, perfect for a first aerial experience including a few acrobatics;

Pleasure flight - a slightly longer flight (15 minutes) from the Crêt du Merle or the Crêt du Loup (depending on the day's weather conditions) which will give you some great thrills over 750 metres of vertical drop.

This paragliding flight in La Clusaz will be done in tandem with a state-qualified instructor who will ensure your safety, as well as your pleasure in flying over this essential Haute-Savoie resort. So don't wait any longer to book your place, even if you are afraid of heights, because there is no such thing in paragliding!
