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!

Je suis venue avec mes amies pour mon EVJF, et nous avons été accompagnées par Pierrot, un moniteur exceptionnel : passionné, super sympa et qui met tout de suite à l’aise. Le vol était magique, avec une vue incroyable sur les vallées et la mer au loin. Pierrot a adapté chaque vol selon nos envies (plutôt tranquille ou avec plus de sensations fortes !), ce qui a rendu l’expérience encore plus unique. Son acolyte Olivier était génial aussi ; nous avons vraiment passé un super moment en leur compagnie.
