Full description
Take the controls and fly into adventure!
With this experience in Valtournenche you can take part in a piloting lesson and experience the thrill of a paragliding flight in front of the scenery of the Matterhorn. The pilot will let you take the controls for a few minutes and give you an unforgettable experience.
The adrenalin rush is guaranteed!
What we will do
The appointment is at the selected time at the meeting point in Antey-Saint-André (AO). Here we will meet the pilot who will accompany us on this exciting adventure!
We will begin the experience with a piloting lesson, during which we will discover how flying works and learn some basic technical notions about take-off and landing. We will then board a shuttle, which will take us to the take-off point in Valtournenche in about 30 minutes (service included) . We will put on the necessary equipment (included) and, after a short run-up, we will take off.
During the flight, which will last about 15 minutes, we will be firmly anchored to our instructor and will pass over cliffs and alpine valleys, with the possibility of spotting ibexes, chamois and eagles. In front of us, the Matterhorn will dominate the landscape, giving us a truly unforgettable view. As soon as we feel ready, the pilot will leave the controls for a few minutes and allow us to perform some adrenaline-pumping manoeuvres and a few changes of direction.
Finally, the landing will be smooth and controlled and will take place at the rendezvous point. And after a brief debriefing, we will conclude this unique experience with a delicious aperitif (included) , served in a local bar and based on savoury snacks, accompanied by wine or spirtz.
The activity will last a total of 2 hours.
