Parapenting

Flying high in the mountain thermals with an instructor to show you the way.

Paragliding or “Parapenting” is a very popular activity in the alps and involves flying a “Wing” in the thermals high above the valley floor below. Flights are accompanied by an instructor who will give you a sedate flight with wonderful views of the valley floor below. If you prefer a more exhilarating flight, your instructor can demonstrate stalls and basic acrobatics.

The flights start up in the mountains from a take off point, to which you are driven in a 4x4 vehicle. Flights can last more than 15-20 minutes and the sensation is wonderful! You can also pay £20 or so extra, to have an extended 40 min flight.

Many of our guests choose to book their activities on arrival in resort once they have spoken with our Activity Reps who will give advice and recommendations. Although we can pre book activities in advance, this does not guarantee availability or a set day on which the activity will run, this is due to weather or supplier/logistic restrictions. In these instances you will be offered an alternative activity or a full refund in resort.
