This type of paragliding flight is carried out when there are updrafts. The paraglider pilot will make every effort to climb as high as possible and cover the greatest distance. It's a tandem Paragliding of duration that leaves room for travel and wide open spaces.
No need to have a tandem paragliding experience, only the desire to travel in the sky...
During this trip, the instructor will share as much information as possible on paragliding piloting, and discover new sensations thanks to thermals (hot air currents). An extraordinary view of the sky, the La Plagne ski area, Les Arcs, Les Arcs, La Rosière, Peisey-Vallandry, the Mont Blanc Massif, the Pierra Menta and the La Vanoise National Park...
It will take you around 2 hours in your day (including: preparation time, briefing...).

The options
Piloting experience
Air La Plagne Parapente entrusts you with the controls!
Deepen the experience of paragliding, with the innovative “Air La Plagne Pro Expé” system. We are talking here about advanced paragliding!
— First, as is traditional, the instructor explains the basics of paragliding piloting and has you pilot with a double command. So in total safety!
— 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.
Level 1 or 2 aerobatics
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.

FAQ
From what age can we fly?
Children can fly from the age of 5 if they really want to and without being forced to. However, if a child refuses to fly at the last moment, reimbursement will not be possible.
For education, the minimum age is 12.
How long does the flight last?
Flight time depends on a number of factors. The first is your weight! The lighter you are, the longer you stay in the air on an altitude flight. But this is not true on an ascent flight where weight is less important. The second factor depends on the air mass conditions of the day. An air mass is said to be “carrier” when it extends the flight time, we discover it at the time of flight, it is difficult to predict and we do with what nature wants to offer us. The flight time is therefore random on altitude flights but the gliding sensations are always the same.
What should I wear for my paragliding flight?
In winter, your usual ski outfit is enough, but don't forget gloves, sunglasses and neck warmers. In summer, bring at least pants, a windbreaker jacket and walking shoes or sneakers with adherent soles. During the flight, the temperature drops by about ten degrees.
Do I have to buy a lift pass for paragliding?
In winter, a ski pass is not necessary, but a pedestrian pass is essential to take the lifts. You can buy it at the cash register or online.
In summer, the price of your flight includes the pedestrian pass.
Is paragliding risky?
Paragliding is a sport with risks, like all sports. Our instructors are professionals who do their utmost to reduce them, but zero risk does not exist. Beware of companies that claim the opposite!
Can you take off on foot, skis or snowboard
In summer, all takeoffs are done on foot. In winter, taking off on skis or snowboards is recommended, but it is possible on foot with the agreement of our team.
Can you fly if you are pregnant?
Although a problem is very unlikely, there is no such thing as zero risk. For the safety of you and your future child, we cannot accept pregnant women for our activities. You will have plenty of opportunities to participate after birth.
Why doesn't vertigo exist in paragliding?
Vertigo, the illusion that the environment is spinning or that you are going to fall, is surprisingly uncommon in paragliding for the majority of people. The main reason lies in the lack of close and fixed visual reference points. At altitude, far from the ground and from immediate objects, your brain has fewer elements to interpret a relative movement that could induce this sensation of rotation. Your broad field of vision, embracing the horizon, also helps maintain your spatial orientation.
In addition, a typical paragliding flight is characterized by smooth and progressive movements, which are less likely to disturb the delicate mechanisms of the inner ear, the main seat of our balance. The concentration of pilots and passengers on the landscape and the sensations of the flight also tends to distract attention from potential signals of imbalance.
Can you fly at the same time as your friends or family?
Absolutely! Our pilots will accompany you, and you can fly up to 8 people at the same time on the same schedule.
What are the cancellation and refund conditions?
In the event of weather constraints, we will postpone your flight, internship day or snake gliss activity to a later date depending on your availability. Unfortunately, if the weather prevents Mountain Attitude from offering you your activity while your voucher or stay is valid, you can choose between a voucher valid for one year or a refund. However, Mountain Attitude will not be responsible if you are not available on the proposed dates.
