Méribel is situated at an altitude of 1,450 metres, in the heart of the 3 Vallées. The mountain range offers a truly unique spectacle that is sure to amaze you, no matter where you look.

However, by choosing an activity such as paragliding, you’ll have the chance to discover the resort from a whole new angle, with a panoramic view that’s sure to take your breath away.

As well as the many stunning landscapes the Tarentaise Valley has to offer, there’s a whole range of wildlife waiting to be spotted. From marmots and eagles to roe deer and does, you won’t forget your flight in a hurry.

Paragliding: our tips for an unforgettable experience

Flying conditions are more pleasant in summer, but you’ll still need to choose your clothing carefully, as the altitude can cause cool draughts. As a general rule, a windbreaker should be sufficient, and don’t forget the safety helmet, which will be provided at take-off.

Are you staying in Méribel with your family? Don’t worry – paragliding is also suitable for children.

Whilst it’s advisable to check with the pilots before heading to the launch site, children over the age of 5 are generally allowed to take their first flights. However, they must meet certain criteria, particularly regarding weight.
