Frequently asked questions

What is the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch off the ridge is the sharpest adrenaline spike: you go from standing still to airborne in a few running steps, with the Verdon canyon dropping away beneath you almost immediately.
Do you need to be comfortable with heights to enjoy this?
Most first-timers report that the fear of heights disappears once you're in the air, because there's no solid ground close enough to trigger the usual response. The sensation feels more like floating than falling.
How long is the actual flying time?
The operator lists the experience as "1h to full day", so actual airtime varies depending on the package you agree on when booking with DINOVOL Parapente.
When is the best time to fly over Verdon Gorge?
The season runs May through September. Thermal conditions are strongest in July and August, which means more dynamic lift and longer potential flights, but also more turbulence for sensitive stomachs.

May – September

Equipment

No gear required: DINOVOL Parapente provides all flight equipment for tandem passengers. Wear closed-toe shoes and layer up, since temperatures drop noticeably at altitude even in summer.

Getting there

The exact meeting point is communicated by your instructor no later than the day before the flight, so plan to be within reach of Digne-les-Bains the evening prior.
