A "paragliding jump"? More of a gentle glide
Often described as a "paragliding jump", the discovery flight is actually a gentle ride: you don't jump, you take off running before gliding.

FAQ
Your questions about the discovery flight
The questions we're asked most before booking.
Yes: the discovery flight is our first-flight formula, designed for anyone trying tandem paragliding for the first time.
Yes, from age 6 and with no minimum weight required. It's the formula we recommend for a child's first flight.
No. You just need to be able to take a few running steps at take-off: the pilot does the flying.
The meeting point is sent to you the day before by email and text message, depending on the day's weather. From there, we take you up to take-off by car or shuttle. Landing is at the meeting point: your friends and family can wait for you there, but they don't come up to take-off (there's no room in our vehicles).
If the weather doesn't allow a safe flight, it's rescheduled at no extra cost. On your side, let us know at least 48 hours ahead to change the date. Within 48 hours, the flight remains due, unless you have a valid reason (a medical certificate, for example).
Yes, with your phone attached to you for safety. For a guaranteed souvenir, a photo and video shoot by the pilot is also offered as an option (+€20).
What to wear, nerves, motion sickness, age and weight: all the practical questions are in our FAQ.
