Our services:

10-minute introductory flight:
Our introductory paragliding flight is perfect for those looking for a gentle first flight experience, with a limited duration and altitude. You will be accompanied by a state-qualified instructor who will guide you throughout the flight. After take-off, you'll fly over the village of Saint Vincent les Forts and its historic monuments, such as its fort and Vauban tower, before exploring the magnificent scenery of the Ubaye valley and Serre-Ponçon lake. The updrafts will gently carry you along the topography, offering breathtaking views from the sky. You'll usually be lucky enough to land right next to the take-off site, but if conditions don't allow it, you can land on the banks of the lake, where we'll come and collect you.
