Paragliding
Would you like to admire the Alps from a really special angle on your next holiday? Then paragliding in Savoie is the perfect activity for you! Whether you’re an adrenalin junkie or just want to enjoy the natural beauty that the high peaks of the Alps have to offer, the various paragliding schools in the area around our Lac de Carouge campsite guarantee an unforgettable experience that combines both.
What is paragliding?
Paragliding is a leisure sport that allows you to stay in the air for long periods using only a paraglider or ‘wing’. Basically, you take off from the side of a mountain or steep hill, after which you can fly using only the force of the wind and the resistance of the paraglider’s fabric. As there is no propulsion, you descend gradually during the flight, taking advantage of the rising winds, which can easily take up to two hours. During this time, seated in the harness under the parachute, you will have the opportunity to discover the region from above and fully immerse yourself in the experience and the landscape.
Air safety for beginners and advanced skydivers
You can visit several schools in Savoie to discover this Alpine region from a new angle. Beginners will fly in tandem with an instructor, with the pilot sitting behind you while you steer the parachute, while you have the time of your life. So you’ll always be safe. This activity is also accessible to young children and people with mobility difficulties. Would you like to find out more and eventually be able to fly yourself? There are also a number of schools close to the campsite that offer more in-depth lessons and courses to make this possible. In short, there’s something for everyone.
