Every day, depending on the weather, there will be a brifin led by the guide who knows the area. After the brifin, each pilot, according to his abilities, will be able to make flights around the area or long cross flights to try to reach the next flying area.

Flight zones:
Flying in this valley will be possibly the most impressive flight of the trip as we will fly surrounded by the highest mountains and the longest glaciers in Europe and for those who want to do a bit of paralpinism can take off accompanied by a high mountain guide from the Aiguille du Midi at 2,300 m of altitude above Chamonix. Other take-offs: Flégère-Index, Plan de l’Aiguille, Grands Montets and Planpraz.
We cannot skip this area in our outing. Located next to the cities of Geneva (Switzerland) and Annemasse (France), this mountain range is squarely on our Alps route. With easy access by road and cable car to three take-offs, Telephique, La Table d’Orientation and Les Crets, the area with conditions allows landing at take-off.
This small village, located on a terrace overlooking the Arve valley and below the rocky walls of the Chartreuse mountain range, seems to be entirely dedicated to the world of free flight where the famous Coupe Icare carnival and festival is held every year. Due to the impressive surroundings and the ease of access, this area is a must-see.
Take off from the Col de Forclaz over the lake of Annecy is one of the best flying experiences in France, there thanks to the lake SIV courses are carried out by different schools. Other takeoffs: Planfait, Montmin and Coche Cabane.
The fame of this area dates back to the beginnings of paragliding with the first unofficial world championship held in 87. Not only is it a world class ski resort, the Bagne valley offers fabulous infrastructures and flying conditions. Takeoffs: Les Ruinettes, Les Attelas, Savoleyres and Croix de Coeur.
Once upon a time, four friends got together to show a crowd of journalists a new way to perform free flight with a rectangular parachute, thus paragliding began. The year was 1979 and Mieussy has remained the same, the same quiet little village of Savoy occasionally invaded by groups of paragliders. A touch of history will fly with us as we take off from Pertuiset and turn the thermals of the ridges above the Giffre valley.
