Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment of the flight?
The launch from the ridge above Serre Chevalier. You go from standing still to airborne in a few running steps, with the valley floor dropping away instantly beneath you.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to enjoy this?
Fear of heights on the ground doesn't automatically translate to paragliding. Once you're in the harness and gliding, most first-timers describe it as surprisingly calm rather than terrifying. The sensation is closer to floating than falling.
How long are you actually in the air?
The flight runs 45 min to 1h depending on weather and thermal conditions on the day.
When is the best time to fly over Serre Chevalier?
The season runs May through September. Midsummer thermals are strongest and give the longest flights, but June and September offer clearer skies and fewer crowds.
