Acrobatic Paragliding Tandem Flight over Chamonix

About this tour

Launch into acrobatic paragliding above Chamonix's Alpine peaks on a tandem flight with certified French instructors. This adrenaline-focused experience takes you soaring over dramatic terrain for roughly an hour, with takeoff typically from Plan Praz (or Plan de L'Aiguille if conditions require). You'll be harnessed to a professional pilot who handles all the flying while you experience barrel rolls, spirals, and technical manoeuvres safely. Helmet and full insurance included.

Highlights

• Barrel rolls and spirals above Mont Blanc massif
• Certified French instructors with full liability insurance
• Takeoff from high alpine meadows with immediate views
• Suitable for ages 4+; no prior experience needed
• English, French, and Spanish-speaking pilots available
• Weather-dependent with full refund or reschedule option

What to expect

You'll meet your pilot and kit up with a helmet before heading to the launch point via cable car (ticket purchased separately). After a brief safety briefing, you'll run off the alpine slope together as the paraglide inflates overhead. Once airborne, your pilot controls the wing while you enjoy the ride—expect loops, tight turns, and sustained climbs if thermals allow. The flight duration varies with conditions, typically staying aloft 45–60 minutes. You'll land back at the departure zone. Wear sturdy shoes, a windproof jacket, and sunglasses. Travel light; bulky bags complicate harness fitting.
