In Chamonix they teach primary school children to paraglide. You see all types flying above the valley including old guys like me. So beautiful, majestic, and peaceful in the air. My guide Sandie was a competitive flyer and now does tandem flights so all can experience mt blanc, the glaciers, and Chamonix from above.
Such a fun time! Highly...

Absolutely fantastic. We weren’t able to fly on our original day due to the wind and weather but Edwin and the guys tried so hard for us to make it happen. They moved heaven and earth to rearrange for the next morning which went to plan. Edwin and the team are beyond patient. They are incredibly calm and relaxed which keeps you the same. We couldn’t have wished for better pilots. The whole experience was unforgettable and can’t wait to do it again. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
Wow!
