Paragliding jump procedure

How does a paragliding flight take place?

Example for an appointment at 2 p.m. for a scenic flight with photos/videos 

IMPORTANT: Depending on the weather conditions, the instructor may need to change the meeting point or potentially cancel the flight for safety reasons.

1 – 2:00 PM: Welcome from the two-seater paragliding instructor

Allow 15 minutes extra. Appointments are most often at the landing site (very rarely at the take-off site). The time given to you is the latest time you must arrive at the meeting point. From there, we will go up to the take-off site, which takes about 20 to 30 minutes.

2 – 2:30 PM: Equipment and briefing

Once on the takeoff, your instructor will equip you with a harness and a helmet. They will carry out the usual checks on the paraglider (untangling the lines, checking the reserve parachute, etc.).
Then, he will give you the instructions to follow for take-off.

3 – 14:35: Paragliding flight

Here we are, it is time to treat yourself by discovering unique landscapes from the air. You will see for yourself that there is no «vertigo» when paragliding and if you had a hint of apprehension, it will vanish in no time at all!!! Also, be aware that the instructor is there for you and that if you wish to shorten your flight because you are not feeling comfortable, that is entirely possible. Likewise, if you wish to do acrobatics you can ask them if flight conditions allow it.

Your instructor is also a paragliding specialist and knows the region well, so they will be delighted to explain why it flies, how to fly, the names of the surrounding mountains, and depending on the flying conditions, they may even offer you the chance to fly yourself by giving you your first piloting lesson.

4 – 15:00: Once placed

The instructor will collect the provided equipment and give you the photos and videos of the flight which you can watch, rewatch and re-rewatch over and over again! And you will head home with a smile from ear to ear, proud of having pushed your limits, with stars in your eyes and a strong desire to do it all over again straight away!
