Combine a hike with a paragliding flight for a unique experience
Do you love walking, gaining height and marvelling at nature? Hike & fly is made for you! As mountain leaders and paragliding instructors, we offer a unique experience between earth and sky, part of our tandem paragliding flights, in the heart of Serre Chevalier, the Clarée valley or the Durance.
We start the day with a beautiful hike, off the beaten track, towards a summit, a pass or an alpine pasture chosen according to what you would like and your level. This special moment immerses you in the peace of the mountains, with only the call of marmots, pure air and grand scenery for company.
When we reach the take-off point, it’s time for the magic of flight. We take the time to kit you out and explain each step. The take-off is gentle, with the energy of the wind and the beauty of the peaks all around. And there you are in the air, carried by the currents, gazing at valleys and ridges from a completely new angle.
Hike & fly combines the gentle effort of walking with the airborne thrill of paragliding. A complete activity, whether you are sporty, contemplative or simply curious. In tandem, we are with you from start to finish, in complete safety, so you can fully enjoy the moment.
Fancy an adventure out of the ordinary? This hike & fly is the ideal opportunity to discover the region differently, at your own pace, with a good dose of escape and freedom.
