About this tour
Launch into silent flight above the French countryside on a tandem paragliding discovery flight. Spend an hour aloft without engine noise or road clatter, drifting over climbing crags, walking trails, and pastoral valleys. Your pilot handles the technical work while you take in unobstructed views of the landscape below. Optional: request a burst of spiralling altitude for extra buzz before landing.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll be fitted with helmet and gloves at the launch site. Your pilot briefs you on body position and landing technique, then you'll run together into wind to get airborne. Once aloft, expect a smooth glide with plenty of time to absorb the terrain below—ridge lines, forested slopes, distant settlements. Thermals and ridge lift keep you climbing. If you're keen for it, your pilot can add some playful height-hunting before a gentle descent and run-out landing back near the start point.
Good to know
Moderate fitness required. Not suitable if pregnant or with cardiovascular concerns. Ski lifts aren't included—you'll ascend by thermal lift or towing. Public transport reaches the takeoff zone. Bring layers; it's cooler at altitude.
