Paragliding 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.

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!

Do you organize activities for business groups (seminars)?

Absolutely! We offer tailor-made programs including paragliding baptisms and Snake Luge descents to strengthen the cohesion of your teams. We can accommodate groups of more than 50 persons.

How do I know if my flight is maintained when the weather conditions are not good?

We monitor the evolution of the weather in real time to guarantee your safety. If the conditions do not allow you to take off, we will contact you to offer you the choice of rescheduling your flight to another time slot or a full refund.

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.

Do you offer childcare while parents fly?

We do not have a childcare structure on site. However, we can guide you to local solutions or organize your flights at an offset so that a parent can stay on the ground with the children.
