Activity description

Enjoy a paragliding flight of about 20 minutes in the Massif de Chartreuse and take the controls if you feel like it!

Come and discover the joys of paragliding, with the magic of the air in a simply magnificent environment: along the cliffs of Saint-Hilaire, in the Massif de Chartreuse, facing the often snow-covered mountains of Belledonne.

Treat yourself to a tandem paragliding experience with a state-certified instructor in Saint-Hilaire-du-Touvet in Isère, near Grenoble. The tandem paragliding experience is available to all ages, regardless of your physical condition. The take-off requires only a modest physical participation, and the flight does not create any sensation of vertigo: in short, only pleasure!

Depending on the option you choose, Gaby, your paragliding instructor, will introduce you to piloting or solo take-off on a school slope. If you are prone to motion sickness, opt for the 20 minutes flight, preferably in the morning or at the end of the day.

You will leave with a lot of memories and your photos and videos on an SD card (to be requested on site). Don't wait any longer to live a memorable first paragliding experience and take the plunge near Grenoble with Air Alpin!
