Hair blowing in the wind, feet floating in the air and a smile shining on your face: that's the definition of paragliding! This panoramic flight takes you for an "air wandering" in the sky of the Samoëns valley with the Mont Blanc range in the background. This flight is open to all those with paragliding experience who are curious to discover the mountain from the sky.
Tour programme- Meeting and PreparationWe meet
at the agreed time at our paragliding school in the heart of Samoëns. Our team will be waiting for you with a big smile, and after welcoming you, we will jump in our transfer car. Our destination: the paragliding take-off area of Samoëns 1600 or La Bourgeoise, depending on the weather conditions. By the time we get to the take-off runway, we will already have had time to get to know each other and prepare you for the flight.
- Start and FlightOnly a few instructions are needed and the equipment has to be put on before you are ready to take off. The take-off is rather quick since you only need to run a few meters on the track. In less than two minutes, you will be in the sky of the Haute-Savoie, amazed by the panorama. The landing takes place after a 20 to 30-min flight and brings you directly in Samoëns, at the "Base de loisirs" just a stone's throw from our school.
