— Then in a second step, thanks to an innovative device designed by AIR La Plagne (AIR la Plagne Pro Expé), you will be able to perform incredible curves yourself, where you will feel the beginnings of aerobatics!
So your tandem paragliding experience does not only end with an extraordinary ride and a bit of piloting, but goes deep into understanding how this fabulous aircraft works. The curves follow one another with sensations of gliding and especially of control.

Air La Plagne immortalizes your tandem paragliding jump. The “big” moments are only “big”, if they are shared!

The number varies according to the type of tandem paragliding that you have chosen. The longer the flight, the greater the number of photos and videos.

For thrill seekers!
AIR La Plagne/AIR Tarentaise Parapente makes your adrenaline levels explode!
AIR La Plagne/AIR Tarentaise, the only structure to offer paragliding aerobatics in La Plagne!
During your paragliding jump with an aerobatic pilot, we will make you discover the absolute pleasure of gliding in 3 dimensions.
You will discover the sensation of centrifugal force, gravity and carving in 3 dimensions... through real aerobatic maneuvers.
Stop queuing up on fairground rides. Take the “Big” leap and come put your head in Env'air 😉
AIR La Plagne/AIR Tarentaise Parapente offers you two levels of aerobatics
— 1st degree aerobatics:
This consists of making you enter the world of paragliding aerobatics by performing basic tricks.
— 2nd degree aerobatics:
This consists in making you plunge into the heart of paragliding aerobatics, by combining more complex figures and varying the axes of rotation. You will have a feeling of projection in 3 dimensions that you will not find anywhere else.
Your choice between the two levels simply depends on your desire to explode, more or less strongly, your adrenaline levels.
Important:
This option is only for people who are in very good health.
The force experienced by the pilot and the passenger is approximately 3 to 4 G (3 to 4 times the body weight).
Paragliding is equipped with an emergency parachute and the various protections necessary for the activity.
It should be noted that during aerobatic paragliding maneuvers the loss of altitude is considerable, so often, the flight time decreases sharply but the sensations are intense. It's up to you to choose...
NB: No aerobatics on discovery flights.
