How to choose

Three offers, one launch point: Col de la Loze above Courchevel 1850 and Méribel. At 115 €, FBI Parapente's 1h tandem flight is the sharpest entry point in Les Trois Vallées, with guides speaking German, Spanish, French and English. Skiparapente's winter flight at 140 € adds flexibility on duration (20 min to 1h15) and covers both Courchevel and Méribel in the same booking. The 550 € Discovery Day, also by Skiparapente, is a full-day commitment across both resorts: you fly multiple times, debrief between sessions and get hands-on instruction. If you want one clean flight over the Trois Vallées, pick the 115 € option. If you want to understand paragliding and log real air time, the full day justifies the gap.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most intense moment of a tandem paragliding flight here?
The launch from Col de la Loze is the sharpest spike: you run a few steps and the ground simply disappears beneath you. After that, the pilot can throw in wing-overs or tight spirals on request, which compress your body into the harness and spike your heart rate hard.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
All three tours list 'Everybody welcome' as the physical level, so no prior experience or fitness threshold is required. That said, you will be suspended several hundred metres above an Alpine valley, which is a real sensation, not a simulation. Most first-timers describe the first 30 seconds as the hardest part.
What is the difference between the 115 € and the 140 € flight?
The 115 € flight with FBI Parapente is a fixed 1-hour tandem from Col de la Loze, guided in four languages including German and Spanish. The 140 € Skiparapente flight adjusts duration between 20 minutes and 1h15 depending on conditions and covers both Courchevel and Méribel. The price gap reflects that flexibility.
Is the Discovery Day worth 550 € compared to a single flight?
The 550 € full-day option by Skiparapente is not just a longer flight. It is a structured introduction across Courchevel and Méribel, with multiple flights and instruction built in. If you are seriously considering paragliding as a sport, the day pays for itself in logged air time and guided feedback.
When is the best time to fly paragliding in Courchevel?
The season runs May through September. Thermal conditions are strongest in June, July and August, which typically means more dynamic flights with better lift. Early May and late September offer calmer air, which suits first-timers who want a smoother ride over the Trois Vallées.

Equipment

All three tours are open to everyone regardless of fitness level, so no specific gear is required. Wear warm, wind-resistant layers and proper mountain footwear since the launch at Col de la Loze sits at high altitude even in summer. For the full-day option, pack water and a snack.

Getting there

All flights launch from Col de la Loze (5862 Rte du Col de la Loze, 73120 Courchevel). From Courchevel 1850, take the Chenus gondola, ski the Arolles slope, then the Dou des Lanches chairlift to reach the FBI Parapente stand. From Méribel, take the Rhodos gondola, ski the Altiport green slope, then the Loze Express chairlift to the Skiparapente stand in front of the 1928 restaurant.
