FAQ
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.
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, no refund will be possible. For school trips, the minimum age is 12.
Can we take off on foot, on skis or on a snowboard?
In summer, all departures are on foot. In winter, it is recommended to go on skis or snowboards, but it is possible to go on foot with the agreement of our team.
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!
