Activities - Paragliding

Have a look at our Alpine Activity Holiday and our Winter Activity Holiday Offers

With its 300 days of sunshine a year and the unique microclimate created by the Ecrins mountains, the Southern French Alps is a perfect location for paragliding and, as it's still a relatively well kept secret, you can fly without hundreds of other paragliders getting in your way.

There are several paragliding courses on offer in the valley running from May to October.

You can also go paragliding in the winter with a ski landing. Or for the more adventurous winter sports seekers, you can try speedriding, which is like kite surfing on skis or a snowboard!

We can arrange any of the courses or taster sessions for you as part of a summer activity holiday, a winter activity holiday or you can enjoy a week of pure paragliding or speedriding.

All courses are run by fully qualified and experienced instructors operating within European regulations and guidelines and all equipment is provided.

Tasters:

Fly tandem with an instructor and discover what it's like to be airborne above one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world! A taster session lasts approximately 15 minutes and is possible in summer and winter. In summer it is also possible to extend your flight time to 1 hour, or to go for a 'sensation' flight where your instructor will do figures and manoeuvres in the air that will really get your adrenaline going!
