Frequently asked questions
Why paraglide in Chamonix?
Flying is wonderful. Flying in this panorama is truly exceptional — one of the most beautiful paragliding sites in the world.
The in-flight views are breathtakingly beautiful.
There is something for everyone! Children, adults, seniors, athletes, thrill-seekers, adrenaline hunters, or simply those looking to enjoy the flight closest to nature and the view: a timeless moment, calm and contemplative.
We never run out of reasons to fly in Chamonix.
Take-off and access to the launch site are easy.
Is tandem paragliding in Chamonix accessible to beginners?
Absolutely! The tandem paragliding experience is designed for beginners!
No special skills required!
With tandem flights supervised by qualified instructors, no prior experience is needed.
We just need your help at take-off — a short run and within a few steps you feel yourself lifted off the ground.
During the flight, you are seated very comfortably and can chat with your instructor. Every time, it is a pleasant surprise for our passengers — they never expect it to be such a relaxing and enjoyable activity!
What age can you fly?
From age 4, children are very receptive to the joy of flying like birds… We can take them flying if they truly want to. We will choose special conditions: early in the morning, in calm air conditions. Sometimes they even pilot the wing — they find it easy and great fun!
For seniors: there is no age limit for flying. Have you always dreamed of it? Don't hesitate — we will take good care of you. A few extra precautions will be taken. Please let us know at the time of booking. The tandem record is held by a 104-year-old woman! As with children, we will adapt the timing to suit.
What is the weight limit?
Depending on the site chosen and the conditions, weight matters.
For Planpraz and Plan de l'Aiguille, we can fly passengers under 45 kg and over 90 kg if informed in advance. We will choose a suitable time slot.
For high-altitude and long-distance flights, it is preferable to weigh less than 90 kg, with exceptions.
Flights with our female champions are limited to 85 kg
The maximum authorised weight is 120 kg fully dressed — the certification limit for our harnesses and insurance.
Weight is not the only factor — we also take the passenger's fitness level into account. For example, it is quite manageable to take off with a 110 kg rugby player at Planpraz.
