Activity description

If you dream of flying over the wonderful Chamonix valley, then this tandem paragliding experience facing Mont Blanc is for you!

Thanks to this paragliding experience in Chamonix, you will be flying over one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world, facing the famous Mont Blanc. From the air, you will discover impressive views of the Alps from 2,000, 2,300 or even 3,700 metres depending on the take-off point you choose! Between Planpraz and the Plan de l'Aiguille for a leisurely first flight, or from the Aiguille du Midi for a more sporty experience starting with a walk in crampons, it is up to you to choose the launch site that suits you best for your paragliding experience overlooking Mont Blanc.

Your tandem paragliding experience in Chamonix will take place in complete safety with the assistance of a qualified instructor who knows the region like the back of his hand! Once your equipment is in place, all you will have to do is run a few metres to take off, with the instructor behind you piloting you. The flight can last from 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your take-off point.

Don't hesitate to come and enjoy an incredible experience in the skies over Chamonix during your paragliding flight facing Mont Blanc!
