If you wish to skip step one and directly take control of your paraglider during your first flight, the Pégase team is happy to take you on a tandem flight and let you do your thing. Being in control of your glider gives you a unique feeling of freedom and we are delighted to assist you. Your pilot will be there to give you instructions and advice and make your 20-minute flight an unforgettable experience.
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 15 to 20-min flight and brings you directly in Samoëns, at the "Base de loisirs" just a stone's throw from our school.
