HIS FIRST PARAGLIDING EXPERIENCE

What is a child's paragliding flight?

Children's paragliding is a first flight specially adapted for the very young (from age 6). Your child sits comfortably in a child's harness facing the landscape, attached in tandem to a state-qualified instructor who manages everything: take-off, piloting and landing.

Unlike adult flights, the children's flight only takes place in the morning (8am-10am), when the air is stable and conditions optimal. The flight is deliberately short (10-15 minutes) to suit children's attention spans, but long enough for them to get the most out of the experience.

Our instructors are used to children: they know how to reassure them, explain things in simple terms, and turn that first flight into a magical moment. A lot of children ask to fly again as soon as they land!

What about parents? Take the opportunity to book a upward flight while your child is waiting for you downstairs!
