Practical information

Take off at an altitude of 2,318 meters for 30 minutes over the Chamonix valley.

Course of events

- On arrival at the meeting point, you and your pilot will board the gondola for a 10-minute briefing on how the tandem flight will work.

- You will then make your way to the take-off site on the Aiguille du Midi, at the intermediate station at the top of the Plan de l'Aiguille, at an altitude of 2,318 m.

- After the usual preparations (untangling the glider, giving instructions to the passenger), all you need to do is take a few steps forward and you'll be in the air!

- Let's go for a 30-minute flight in the sky above the Chamonix valley: depending on the conditions, your pilot will always try to optimise the flight, and if you feel like it, he can perform a few acrobatic manoeuvres and give you an introduction to piloting.

- You'll fly over the whole of the Chamonix valley, skimming over the steep slopes of the surrounding mountains and occasionally having the chance to come across a golden eagle, chamois or ibex.

- You'll finish your flight a short distance below Chamonix town centre, where you'll debrief your experience with a smile on your face.
