Fly over the Écrins
Paragliding is a form of gliding activity that appeared in the ’70s. The activity has become more widely accessible to the general public thanks to tandem flights.
Paragliding in a few words
You will be sat on a little saddle and the paraglider will control the wing.
The activity takes place in the air, but to start, you will need to run off a take-off path. In summer, once in the air, the paraglider is on the lookout for thermals that fill the wing with warm air currents enabling it to rise. You will then be flying over the mountain landscapes and nearing the most beautiful summits.
In winter, you will set off from the ski slopes and descend progressively to the foot of the resorts.
It is an activity that many enjoy and is possible from an early age.
