Amazing experience with incredible views. Pilot helped me feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend!
There is nothing like soaring like an eagle above the mountains and over Chamonix with an expert guide and professional equipment. I highly recommend it.
If you book this experience make sure you ask for Pat!! As soon as you meet him there’s this sense of trust that he is the person for the job! Pat made me feel comfortable from the beginning until the end. He is not only a pro but a wonderful person. Would I’ve to paraglide with him again!
Had an amazing first paragliding experience with Pierre! He was incredibly professional, friendly, and made me feel comfortable from start to finish. Since it was my first time, I was a bit nervous, but he ensured I felt safe and relaxed throughout the whole flight. What made the experience even more special was that he let me pilot the paraglider for a while, which was such a thrilling and unforgettable moment. Highly recommend Pierre if you’re looking for a safe, fun, and memorable paragliding adventure!
My guide, Pat, was excellent and pointed out glaciers and many sights as we flew. He knew I was nervous and asked if I wanted a gentle flight or some sharper turns. I was a little taken back when we got to base and was told we owed extra because we took off from Aguilar de midi instead of where we scheduled but what can you say at that point. We booked very last minute and they responded to questions quickly and had a wonderful flight
Absolutely amazing experience! The company made everything so easy. They provided great directions on where to meet and what tickets to purchase. They took care of all equipment. The flight itself was a once in a lifetime experience. We lucked out with a beautiful day and all 5 guides provided a great experience. They made sure we were comfortable, provided information about what we were seeing, how everything works and even let us try the controls a little. The length of the flight was perfect for me. Everything was perfect. Would recommend!
The staff is very friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt in responding. I did not get to fly because the weather did not cooperate but the pilot Coco still tried to wait out the weather to make it happen. They did refund without asking for one. I would highly suggest using them to anyone.
Simply magnificent, breathtaking. A moment suspended outside of time and peaceful 🙂. Thanks again to Coco who found the words to make this trip perfect!
The paragliding adventure was amazing! Very smooth with a gorgeous view of the glacier! Our family really enjoyed the adventure❤️
Romain was great!!! Very knowledgeable and skilled at his craft. Just the kind of pilot that you want. He went above and beyond. I felt like I got much more than just a “ride” and more of an introductory paragliding lesson. Highly recommended. I am hopeful to get back again to do it again. What an amazing experience!! A+++++
