In summer, there are plenty of outdoor activities that allow you to discover the Méribel valley from a different perspective. If you’re looking for a thrill during your summer holiday, a tandem paragliding flight might be just the thing for you.

It’s probably the best way to enjoy a sense of freedom, whilst taking in a unique view of the surrounding peaks. Whether on your own, with friends or family, a tandem paragliding flight is a unique experience to enjoy right now in the Alps!

During the summer months, most holidaymakers visiting the mountains spend their days relaxing by the pool or exploring the surrounding countryside on hikes. These activities allow you to slow down and make the most of your holiday to recharge your batteries.

For a change of pace, others choose to liven up their stay with more unusual experiences. In the mountains, summer is also a great excuse to book a paragliding flight. Flying at an altitude of over 2,600 metres, you can feel like a bird and take to the skies, just above the Méribel valley. It’s a chance to enjoy a unique thrill whilst discovering the surroundings in a whole new way.

If paragliding is something that might interest you, you should be aware that there is only one operator open during the summer season in Méribel. Run by two professionals who are passionate about free flight, this partner organisation of Montagne Expériences by ESF offers aerodynamic tandem paragliding flights for everyone aged 7 to 77 and over.

On the day of your flight, after a 4x4 journey to the launch site, you’ll meet one of the pilots on the take-off run for a smooth take-off. To facilitate this, a ramp is set up so that you can launch easily as a pair, after a run-up of just 10 to 20 metres. Your pilot will then take the time to chat with you during the flight, particularly about your impressions. Finally, the landing will be carried out safely thanks to your pilot’s experience.

It’s worth noting that anyone can take part in a tandem paragliding flight, as you simply need to weigh at least 25 kg. Children aged 7 and over can also experience these exceptional thrills. People with reduced mobility are also welcome to book, provided they have no medical contraindications.

Whether you’d like to take part in this experience as a couple, with your children or with friends, please note that a maximum of three people can be accommodated in a single session. So, are you ready to enjoy this extraordinary experience in the Méribel valley?
