Absolutely brilliant! An unbelievable experience!
Went on a free day before starting the TMB and it was amazing! Coco was great! Smooth take off and landing. We had a nice, long, smooth ride and he asked if I liked roller coasters and then we did some “tricks” until said okay, so much fun!
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed your flight with Coco. We'll pass your kind words on to him! 😊🪂

Awesome! Richard was my tandem guide and he made everything super fun and easy. We met at the Planpraz lift and it was simple from there. The views from inside the Chamonix valley were amazing. Richard let me drive the parachute for a while and did some spins before landing. We had about 25 minutes in the air.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled to hear you had such a fantastic flight with Richard. He loves making every tandem flight both fun and relaxing, so it's great to know you felt comfortable from the moment you met at Planpraz. The views over the Chamonix Valley really are unforgettable, and we're glad you had the opportunity to take the controls for a while and enjoy a few exciting spins before landing! We hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the skies of Chamonix soon!
Incredible experience! Roman was extremely knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend you try this adventure with Air Sports Chamonix and hopefully Roman will be your pilot!
What a time! Sandy was so incredible explaining what to do and how to stay safe. She even used the chance to teach me about how paragliding works and how to better the experience. The views were incredible and a must do while in Chamonix.
