More on Parapenting
This is a very popular activity in the Alps and involves flying a “Wing” in the thermals high above the valley floor below. Flying high in the mountain thermals with an instructor to show you the way! 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.
