Adrenaline lovers, watch out! A breath-taking paragliding flight from Plan de l'Aiguille awaits you. On the way down, your tandem state-certified pilot will perform action-packed flight manoeuvres, like wing-over and 360°, which enable you to feel the centrifugal forces.
Tour programme
- Meeting and Preparation:
We meet at the bottom station of the Aiguille du Midi cable car in Chamonix. From there you will take the cable car to the take-off site on Plan de l'Aiguille, which is located close to the top station. Once arrived, your pilot gives you a detailed introduction to the course of the flight and prepares the paragliding equipment.
- Start and Flight:
To take-off, your active participation is necessary. You run a few meters on the slight slope until you are airborne. Now you can just sit back and enjoy the ride. If you want, you can even take over and steer the paraglider for some time under the close supervision of your pilot. The landing on the landing site close to our base in Chamonix is not hard. You follow the commands of your pilot and run a few more steps until you come to a halt. If you parked your car at the cable car station, you can conveniently reach it on foot from here.
