Take to the skies and see the mountains from a new perspective. If you’ve never tried paragliding before then Tignes is a great place to learn how to fly. Known as “parapenting” in France & Switzerland, there are a great number of clubs and organisations in the area whose sole purpose is give you the experience of flying.

From the heights of the mountain tops you can glide down to the bottom of the valley on a tandem paraglider controlled by the instructor. They manoeuvre the parachute while the passenger enjoys the ride and fantastic views. An incredible experience, taking in the breath taking views from a new perspective.
