    After a safety briefing and getting kitted out, it only takes a few steps to soar into the air and enjoy a paragliding flight lasting around 20 minutes. You will fly over the valley, enjoying spectacular views of Mont Blanc, the surrounding peaks, and, conditions permitting, the legendary Bossons Glacier!

    Depending on your preferences, the flight can be either a peaceful, scenic experience or a more dynamic one: you can explore thermal updrafts (mainly in summer), enjoy thrilling acrobatics on request, or simply enjoy a peaceful aerial journey.

    You will land gently at Bois du Bouchet (in both summer and winter) or at Le Savoy (summer only), depending on the day’s conditions.

    Each flight is fully tailored to your expectations and comfort level, in strict accordance with the weather conditions, to ensure you have a safe, personalised, and unforgettable experience.
