Description
Looking for a paragliding flight near Evian and Thonon-les-Bains?
🪂 Take off in tandem above Morzine-Les Gets in Haute-Savoie, with Mont Blanc and the Portes du Soleil as your backdrop.
☁️ With a state-certified pilot beside you, you glide through the air without a hint of vertigo, with or without acrobatics for older flyers.
🏔️ From age 5, an experience far more impressive to watch than to do.
- Beginner
📍 Meet in the centre of the Les Gets resort: a lift then takes you up to the take-off point.
⏱️ Allow about 45 minutes in total, including 10 to 20 minutes in the air, landing right near the village.
👧 The children’s flight is open to ages 5 to 12 and takes place in calm conditions for extra safety. The adult flight is open from age 12, with or without acrobatics.
⚖️ Weight must be between 25 and 120 kg: for 95 to 120 kg, a flight in the mid-afternoon, when the thermal breeze is stronger, makes take-off easier.
🦺 We lend you a harness, wing and helmet: just wear comfortable clothes and bring sunglasses.
🏃 The activity is not very physical, you simply run a few steps at take-off, and the landing is soft.
🗣️ Flights are guided in French or English.
⚠️ Not recommended if you have back problems or a serious medical condition (check with your doctor), and not allowed for pregnant women.
🚗 Getting to the meeting point is up to you, and your booking confirmation arrives by email.
