Home > Parapenting and Paragliding
Parapenting involves skiing, snowboarding, or running off the side of the mountain with a parashute on your back. Once it is opened you have an amazing flight down into the valley riding the thermals, which can last for anything between 10 minutes to an hour depending on the altitude you leave from. There are several companies in the area around La Plagne and Les Arcs providing parapente services which are all walking distance from our chalets. Let us know if you are interested in parapenting while you are staying with us so we can arrange the best option for you, and you can just pay in Euros when you arrive. The cost will depend on your needs, but here are a few examples of what is on offer: Take a discover parapenting flight* Suitable for anyone over 5 years of age.* You will fly in tandem with an instructor for around 12 minutes. * You are driven, or take a lift up around 200m from the meeting point and will land back where you started. * Available every morning year round. * Prices vary from 55 to 70 Euros per person.
