Top Paragliding Spots in France

Consider wearing layers! The weather can change quickly in the mountains, and you might feel chilly on the way up but warm when soaring through the air.

i recommend taking the early morning flights around 8 am; the winds are calmer, and the views of the alps at sunrise are breathtaking!

Bring a small backpack with water and a snack. After the flight, you’ll get pretty hungry, and there aren’t many shops around right after landing.

I suggest booking your paragliding session a day in advance to avoid the last-minute rush. It really helped me snag a spot during the busy season!

Don’t forget to bring your own GoPro or ask about photo packages if you want to capture the moments! I didn’t think to do this and missed some great shots in the air.

I suggest booking your tandem flight in advance. Last minute spots fill up fast, especially during weekends. I almost missed out because I didn't plan ahead!

Make sure to dress in layers! It was sunny at the base but pretty chilly up in the air. I ended up wearing an extra jacket that I was glad I brought along.

Make sure to wear layers, even if it seems warm when you start. The temperature can drop rapidly as you rise, and I was caught off guard, freezing up there. A light jacket was my saving grace.

If you get a chance, try to go on a weekday, especially in the morning around 9 AM. The lines were way shorter and the views were stunning without all the crowds!

Make sure to book your flight ahead of time, you'll save a nice chunk of cash. I waited too long and ended up paying much more than I should have. It's worth planning this part well!

Make sure to book your jump online in advance to snag a better deal! I thought I could just walk in but prices seemed higher on the day. Save cash by planning ahead!

I recommend getting there around 9 AM to avoid the crowd. The views are breathtaking that time of day, plus you get to enjoy a little peace before the busy folks arrive

Consider wearing layers and bringing a light jacket. Even if it’s warm on the ground, it can get pretty chilly up in the air. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did!

I highly recommend booking your tandem flight in advance especially during peak season. It saves you the hassle and gives you more time to enjoy the stunning views and experience other activities in Courchevel.
