Activities - Speed Riding
Have a look at our Winter Activity Holiday Offers
Speed Riding is a new extreme sport crossing paragliding with skiing. With skis on your feet and a parachute on your back ski, jump and fly down the slopes. A fantastic sensation of floating, flying and speed - perfect for dynamic thrill seekers who are looking for a bit of adventure to spice up their winter holiday!
Speed riding is practised in specially designated zones away from the main pistes - off piste, in the ski resort of Orcieres 1850.
You need to be an advanced skier to try speed riding with experience of skiing in different types of snow. However, no experience of paragliding is required as the parachutes are specially adapted for ease of use.
