Ascension: 20 to 30 minutes flight time. If you want to fully enjoy your experience, opt for this flight! Adrenalin guaranteed.
We offer different types of tandem flights.

The typical tandem flight
We schedule a meeting time at our office or at the bottom of the Le Lachat chairlift, and then ride together to the takeoff site, located at the top of Mont Lachat.
In the winter, for non-skiers, we can provide all of the necessary gear, and don't worry; several people have donned skis for the very first time when they took their first paragliding flight! If it is possible to take off on foot, we will.
After being briefed and geared up by your instructor, a smooth and easy takeoff will allow you to then fully enjoy your flight. If you so desire, during your flight you will be able to pilot the paraglider while exploring Le Grand-Bornand from the sky.
The landing will also be smooth and easy, by either sliding a few meters on skis or taking just a few short steps, and as your thoughts still linger high above you will never again look at the sky in the same way!

Ascent tandem flight:
From Mars if the weather conditions allow it, we can exploit the ascendances in order to go up and stay longer in flight. You are starting to enter the field of paragliding performance.
Takeoff from Le Lachat and landing in the village, 1100m of vertical drop and about 25min of flight.

Photos and videos :
Whatever the flight, each instructor is equipped with a camera with boom allowing you to bring back unforgettable memories of your aerial adventure. Delivered on an SD card with 30 to 40 photos and 2 to 3 videos. In supplement.
