About this tour
Strap in for a tandem paragliding flight above Chamonix with Mont Blanc dominating the horizon. This one-hour flight is piloted by two brothers who've been flying since childhood, prioritising personalised experiences over generic thrills. You'll get a customised flight suited to your appetite—whether you want serene gliding or aggressive turns—with full safety kit and insurance included. This is paragliding as conversation, not spectacle.

What to expect
You'll meet your pilot, get fitted with harness and helmet, then walk to the takeoff point. The launch is straightforward—no expertise needed. Once airborne, you'll climb on thermals with Mont Blanc filling your view. Your pilot reads conditions and your comfort in real time, adjusting the flight's character accordingly. Some flights are lazy figure-eights in stable air; others chase active thermals with sharper movements. You're strapped safely to an experienced flyer who's done this thousands of times. The landing is gentle. Expect your legs to feel strange for a moment afterwards—perfectly normal.
Good to know
Ski lift tickets (under €20) aren't included; buy at the base. Videos and photos cost €30 extra if you want them on your phone. Pregnant travellers should sit this out. Public transport reaches the launch area easily. Weather dependent—poor conditions mean rescheduling.
