What is a tandem flight ?
We will meet up right next to the landing field. Then we will drive together to the takeoff in our 4x4. On launch, your pilot will prepare the tandem paraglider and fit you with a harness.
After a short briefing you will be ready to fly. A few steps forward followed by a short run and you are in the sky. You will then enjoy a unique panorama and the feeling of flying. If the conditions allow it, you may to pilot the paraglider. Coming into land you will need to take a few steps.
All the instructors are FFVL certified.

New : How to choose the right flight ?
Flight time about 2 minutes.
Time required (drive to take-off, briefing, fitting of equipment, flight and debriefing) approximately 30 minutes.
This flight usually takes place in the morning from 9 am.
This flight is perfect for children and lightweights or for the less adventurous.
A flight time of about 10 minutes.
Time of the service (climb to take-off, briefing, installation of equipment, flight and debriefing) approximately 1 hour.
This flight is carried out all morning. We try to fly the lightest passengers in the early morning.
A flight time that allows you to walk in the air and quietly enjoy the landscape.
The conditions encountered in the morning very often allow the paraglider to be piloted by the passenger.
The takeoff is located at 1000m altitude and is still well protected from the meteorological wind, the possibilities of making this flight are good.
The flight is preceded by a climb in a 4x4 on a steep and very steep path which greatly contributes to the adventure of the flight. Guaranteed sensations.
A slightly more impressive take-off than the flight from Saint Pierre... but it's so beautiful.
Located higher than the Saint Pierre takeoff, it is more sensitive to aerological conditions.
A 4x4 climb which does not allow accompanying persons to come to take-off (this is sometimes possible if we still have places in the vehicle and if the organization allows it).
Also makes you want to start over or worse to want to do an initiation course to fly alone.
A nice flight with a magnificent view at takeoff.
It offers the best chance of achievement and flight time ratio.
The climb in 4x4 greatly contributes to the adventure.
Flight time: 15-20 minutes.
Time of the service (climb to take-off, briefing, installation of equipment, flight and debriefing) approximately 2 hours.
This flight is carried out in the evening (from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. depending on the season) and exceptionally at the end of the morning.
Access to take-off by road (Vallée de la Roanne then by the villages of Rimon and Savel) and a small stretch of very passable road. Companions can follow us easily to enjoy the magnificent view. Sometimes we have a few places available in our minibus.
If conditions permit, the passenger can take control of the paraglider.
The takeoff is the highest, it is the most exposed to the weather wind and does not always allow to be carried out if the wind is too strong or in the wrong direction (South).
To increase the chances of success of this flight try to make yourself available during the week.
We only rotate for this flight with 1 to 4 passengers depending on the monitors available.
Possible addiction and big smile in flight.
Magnificent flight which often allows to see vultures. The view is grand.
The flight time is often well over 15 minutes but it will obviously depend on the air conditions. Without guarantee.
As stated in the cons, the best things often take a bit of patience to come true. Good availability on your part (during the week) makes it easier to find good conditions for this flight.

This flight is performed in the evening from takeoff from “Clos du Ciel” and exceptionally at the end of the morning from takeoff from “Butte de l'Aigle”.
The time spent in the air is substantial. We can walk for a long time in the sky and sometimes come across vultures or see critters frolicking below (wild boars, deer, chamois).
As with the “Clos du Ciel” flight, this flight requires very good conditions to be carried out.
Being available will be key for this flight.
As stated in the cons, the best things often take a bit of patience to come true. Good availability on your part (during the week) makes it easier to find good conditions for this flight.
A substantial flight time that frequently exceeds 40 minutes if the conditions are perfect, your instructor is in great shape (be nice to him) and you want to.
