Soar above the Alps: tandem paragliding adventures for every age and skill level

Location
Chamonix

Discover the unforgettable sensation of flying high above the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc valley on a tandem paragliding adventure. Whether it’s your first time in the air or you’re craving an adrenaline-fuelled experience, each flight is designed to showcase the Alps from their most spectacular angle.

Led by Richard Taylor, a full-time instructor and professional tandem pilot since two thousand and fourteen, the operation is built on a genuine passion for paragliding. Richard and his hand-picked team of experienced, certified pilots are dedicated to delivering safe, confidence-inspiring flights, while making sure you enjoy every moment in the sky. You can relax, take in the views, and fully immerse yourself in the experience.

Flights are available to suit all ages and adventure levels. Gentle discovery flights are ideal for beginners, while dedicated kids flights introduce young explorers to the magic of flight in a safe and comfortable way. Thrill-seekers can choose freestyle flights featuring dynamic manoeuvres and weightless sensations, while XXL flights offer extended time in the air to fully absorb the dramatic alpine scenery. For a truly unique experience, high-altitude launches from the Aiguille du Midi deliver breathtaking views in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif.

In addition to tandem flights, professional paragliding coaching and SIV training are also available in exceptional alpine settings. From peaceful gliding to high-adrenaline adventures, this is an unforgettable way to experience Chamonix from the sky.
