Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch. You run a few steps off the slope and the wing lifts you instantly. Within seconds, the ground drops away and you're soaring above the Pyrenean valleys. Most first-timers say that's the moment their stomach catches up a second late.
Do I need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights on the ground and fear of heights in the air are different sensations. In a tandem flight, you're seated in a harness with a certified pilot controlling everything. Many people who are anxious on ladders report feeling calm and exhilarated once airborne.
How long are you actually in the air?
The total experience runs 1.5h including briefing and equipment fitting. Actual flight time varies with thermal conditions on the day, your pilot will make the most of the air to keep you up as long as conditions allow.
Can I book this if I have zero paragliding experience?
Yes. The physicalLevel is listed as 'Everybody welcome', and tandem means the certified pilot does all the flying. You run a few steps on takeoff and enjoy the ride. No training sessions, no prep courses needed.

Practical info

Season

May – September

Equipment

Wear closed-toe shoes with ankle support and dress in layers since temperatures drop noticeably at altitude above the Hautes-Pyrénées ridges. The 1.5h slot includes ground time, so a light windproof jacket in your bag is a practical call even in summer.

Getting there

Head to AEROTREK PARAPENTE in Campan (65710), roughly 10 km south of Bagnères-de-Bigorre via the D935, where the pilot briefs you before heading to the launch site.
