Details
The Forclaz pass will be the starting point of these 30 majestic minutes in complete safety! Floating in the air under the control of your state-certified pilot, you will exceed the altitude of your take-off point thanks to the pilot's technique, who will use the warm air currents coming from the ground to gain height. This paragliding flight will be so exhilarating that it will pass in a very intense blink of an eye!

We booked this activity with a few friends. While we were driving to the dropoff location we got a briefing and the chance to ask questions. As soon as we arived we each went together with our own instructor and got the chance to ask 1-on-1 questions. Since a few of us are afraid of heights, we had a lot of stress right before take off. This was unnecessary as all takeoffs were very smooth. The flight was very pleasant with the pilots being very considerate for all our well-being and questions. Each of us got at the end the option to do some tricks, if we wanted to.
