Paragliding · Oloron-Sainte-Marie, Ossau Valley
How to choose
Two options, one operator, a 510 € gap. The tandem flight with Ascendance Parapente costs 80 € for 15 to 30 min in the air above Accous in the Pyrénées Atlantiques, no experience required. You launch, a certified pilot handles everything, you collect the rush. The intro course starts at 590 € and runs from a full day up to 5 days, covering ground school, launch technique and solo gliding progression. Choose the tandem if you want to feel the thermal lift over the Ossau Valley without commitment. Book the course if you want to pilot your own wing before the season ends in September.
