Activity description

Admire the superb natural landscapes of the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence from the air while paragliding in Digne-les-Bains!

The very first geopark to be recognised by UNESCO, the Haute-Provence Geopark, located in the southern Alps, is an exceptional site brimming with geological wonders. And to make the most of it, particularly from the air, this paragliding flight in Digne-les-Bains, including a Discovery Pack in partnership with the geopark, is the ideal experience! As well as enjoying a tandem paragliding flight lasting from 12 to 30 minutes, depending on the option you choose, you will also receive a map of the hikes around Digne-les-Bains, a geological map and a Geopark discovery map, as well as a reduced rate for access to the UNESCO Geopark of Haute-Provence Museum-Promenade. All you need for a great stay in and around Digne-les-Bains!

Accompanied by a state-qualified instructor, your first paragliding flight in Digne-les-Bains will not only take place in complete safety, but will also include instructive comments on the geology of the Haute-Provence Geopark, part of which you will be flying over. Whether it is from Andran for the discovery flight or the summit of Cousson for the mythic flight with its 915-metre vertical drop, you will get unbeatable views of the geopark and some of the peaks of the Southern Alps!

Even offering the possibility of doing acrobatics if you wish, this paragliding flight in Digne-les-Bains will give you unforgettable moments above the Haute-Provence Geopark, north of the famous Gorges du Verdon!
