BOOKING

What awaits you:

After a five-minute walk from the exit of the Aiguille du Midi cable car intermediate station, you will reach the take-off area. The take-off area is located at the foot of the North Face of the Aiguille du Midi. Perched above the Chamonix valley, the view is unique: from the Bossons glacier to the top of Mont-Blanc, its 4807 m high.

This flight is often only accessible from the middle of the day due to the particular aerology of the site.

After a short briefing, a few steps are enough to take off. The flight lasts between 15 and 30 minutes comfortably installed in your harness.

If the weather conditions allow it, we can take advantage of the winds to pass over the take-off area and walk along the Mont Blanc massif. You may discover alpine wildlife with chamois, ibex, eagles ...

BEFORE FLYING

If you wish, you can take control of the paraglider under the watchful eye of your instructor. Before reaching the landing zone and only if you wish, we can take advantage of the altitude to perform acrobatic maneuvers.

In winter, ski clothing is suitable, with a pair of boots for walking in the snow. In summer, depending on the temperature, a pair of sports shoes, fleece, windbreaker and sunglasses are recommended.

For this flight, which will last between 20 and 30 minutes depending on weather conditions, it will take around an hour and half of your time between the meeting point and the landing located near the center town of Chamonix.
