Discover Paragliding at the Puy de Dôme and Its Exceptional Views of Auvergne

Paragliding at the Puy de Dôme invites you to discover the landscapes of Auvergne from the sky. Take flight in tandem with an instructor from the summit of this iconic volcano, and gaze out over the Chaîne des Puys, its volcanic landforms, and the vast open spaces of the Puy-de-Dôme region. 🪂 Whether you dream of a gentle introductory flight or something more dynamic, this experience offers a unique way to explore Auvergne.

An iconic flying site in the heart of the Chaîne des Puys

The Puy de Dôme is one of the most renowned paragliding locations in Auvergne. The Chaîne des Puys and the Limagne Fault—a UNESCO World Heritage site—create a truly remarkable panorama. From the summit, you enjoy an exceptional vantage point overlooking the volcanoes and the surrounding countryside. The experience begins with your ascent: you can reach the top on foot via the "Chemin des Muletiers" (Muleteers' Path) or by taking the "Panoramique des Dômes" cog railway.

A flight tailored to your preferences

An introductory flight allows you to enjoy the scenery and the sensations of free flight at a gentle pace. For a more dynamic experience, "performance" or "double" flight options offer longer airtime or two separate flights, depending on the conditions and the package chosen. Flight durations depend largely on the weather and atmospheric conditions. Check the individual product descriptions to compare the available options and choose the perfect flight for you.
