Frequently Asked Questions

There is no age limit! Children are often very receptive to the idea of flying. If your child is interested and asks to try, we can introduce them to this activity. We will choose specific conditions, such as an early morning slot and calm aerological conditions. Sometimes, we even let them take the controls so they can fly the wing themselves, and they find it easy and fun! For seniors, there’s no age limit to making the dream of flying come true. If you want to, don't hesitate to take the leap; we will ensure your comfort and safety. Some precautions will be taken, so please let us know when booking. As with children, we will adjust the time based on your needs.

Yes, our upper weight limit is 120 kg, but the most important thing is to be in good physical condition! We have no issue flying with a "fit" person weighing 120 kg. If you weigh more than 90 kg, it’s better to let us know in advance, and we can advise you on the best flight times to ensure an optimal experience.

Contrary to what one might think, vertigo is generally not an issue in paragliding because our body is not attached to a fixed point. Additionally, the take-off occurs on a gentle slope with a small running start, which eliminates any feeling of falling. This allows you to fully enjoy the sensation of flight without any apprehension.

Forget about the idea of jumping, as we don’t practice skydiving. In paragliding, we prepare the equipment on a gently sloping meadow, then we perform a running start until we lift off the ground. Most of the time, our passengers don’t even realize the exact moment they start flying, as the transition is so smooth and natural. It’s a very fluid, almost magical experience, which makes you forget any stress related to the idea of "jumping."

All good things must come to an end, and we will carefully guide you towards the landing. As with take-off, landing is done standing, with a few steps once you reach the ground. In some cases, we may let you land in a sitting position if the weather conditions or your physical condition require it. Our priority is always your safety, ensuring that this moment remains enjoyable and calm.

"It all depends on the flight you've chosen. We provide a time range because, like birds, we fly by analyzing the air mass. The magic of the aerological conditions and the expertise of your instructor will make your flight an unforgettable moment. Generally, the activity lasts about 1 hour, from the time we meet at the lifts to the moment we land in Chamonix."

Flights are always sold without the lift ticket required to access the ski lifts. You will need to purchase a one-way ticket to Planpraz, Plan de l'Aiguille, or Aiguille du Midi, depending on the flight you've chosen. If you have a pass like the "Unlimited" pass, it is valid for access to the lifts.

Depending on the situation, your instructor will either transfer the photos and videos from their GoPro to your phone using an adapter, allowing you to view them immediately, or they will give you the microSD card so you can watch them at home.

Without a doubt, the most memorable moment is the landing! This is when emotions and joy are written all over the faces. The sensation of freedom gradually fades, giving way to a feeling of accomplishment. Smiles are wide, eyes are bright, and this is often when everyone starts talking. Each person wants to share their impressions, recount their own experience, and the desire to introduce this adventure to loved ones becomes undeniable.

Each year, we offer a limited number of gift cards to ensure we can honor all flights and guarantee customer satisfaction. This is why the validity of a gift card is limited to 12 months.

Yes, no problem! The only condition we ask is that your camera be attached with a leash to avoid any risk of accidental falls onto the buildings. This ensures the safety of everyone during the activity.

We recommend wearing sportswear, with hiking shoes or sneakers, as well as long pants and a long-sleeve top. At high altitudes, it’s always a bit cooler, so a windbreaker is often very useful! To protect your eyes and fully enjoy the view, don’t forget your sunglasses so you won’t miss any of this magical moment!

Un bon vol en parapente, c'est un peu comme un bon repas, ça se partage ! Chaque passager aura son propre moniteur. Vous pouvez réserver à plusieurs sur le même créneau horaire. Si les conditions météo le permettent nous ferons en sorte de décoller ensemble pour profiter du vol en groupe, nous ferons de notre mieux pour voler à proximité les uns des autres.

For those who are very sensitive to motion sickness, it is possible to feel nausea. However, if you inform us before takeoff or during the flight, we have techniques to prevent this. Don't hesitate to let your instructor know before takeoff so you can fully enjoy your experience and keep a memorable memory of your flight.

Safety first! If the conditions are not favorable, we will reschedule the flight based on your availability or proceed with a full refund of the booking. Safety comes first!

This is an activity practiced in a specific environment. Although the risk associated with this practice is low, it is still present. At ParagliDream, all of our instructors have thousands of flights, are qualified with a state diploma, use new or checked equipment, and most importantly, possess an excellent level of analysis and piloting skills to ensure your safety and comfort.

Although the accident rate in professional tandem paragliding is very low, it is still important to check your insurance coverage. Your paragliding pilot has subscribed to an aviation liability insurance. In addition, whether it is Juliette or Nicolas, they both have individual passenger accident insurance. This additional insurance (Contract XL INSURANCE COMPANY SE No. FR00045291AV24A) covers you bodily for significant amounts.

It is possible to choose a female or male pilot. We consider this as a special request. Please contact us directly.
