Flying as a passenger in tandem paraglider. After more than 5000 flights and 19 years of paragliding in Chamonix valley, the school never ceases to be intrigued by the different views of my passengers.

A typical tandem flight.

Takeoff requires a moderate run-up on a gentle slope, you raise the sail of the ground and no sensation of falling, a good take off like a plane taking off. Once in the air you are comfortably installed in a harness and you have free hand to take pictures or may be trying to steer the sail.

Pilot Training:

* Individualized instruction consisting of 6 tandem flights, training, Academic and 2 supervised solo flights.
* The course is fully customized and usually takes 3 or 4 days.
* The use of tandem allows the monitor to show clearly the different aspects of flight and allows the student to learn quickly without the stress of solo flying
