Paragliding with ESF Valmeinier
Accessible from 5 years old, the paragliding activity allows you to experience new sensations. You take off on skis, sliding straight down the slope. You have to stand on your skis for a few meters in direct line and not sit down, as for the butt lift! Landing is also done standing by sliding on skis. In flight, you are installed in the harness, to enjoy the landscapes, the instructor takes care of piloting!
You will be accompanied by an experienced state-certified professional instructor who will introduce you to the joys of paragliding in Valmeinier. In the air, you will have a real feeling of freedom, focusing only on the sound of the wind and the sail. The flight over the landscapes combined with the adrenaline provided by the aerobatics will make this flight a unique experience.
Course of your paragliding flight
On your arrival at the flight site, the instructor will brief you by explaining the safety rules to be observed during your flight. You will then equip yourself with all the equipment necessary for the good practice of paragliding (harness, helmet, etc.).

For your safety, the flights will take place only if the instructor considers that the aerological conditions allow it. In the event of bad weather, flights will be canceled or postponed depending on everyone's availability.
