Paragliding from the puy de Dôme!

You'll be welcomed by our instructors at the summit of Puy de Dôme, France's most famous volcano, after an ascent via the Chemin des Muletiers (for the brave) or the cogwheel train (for those who want to enjoy the 360-degree scenery).

There's something for everyone, at any time of day: a thrill-seeking adventure, a thrill-seeking experience, a chance to admire the puys, a chance to feel free.

Our team of pilots will be there to make sure you have a great time: Fred, Xavier and Vincent!

Now all you have to do is choose your flight...

Make yourself comfortable, and let's go!

Paragliding flight, paragliding baptism, paragliding tandem or paragliding tandem flight Clermont-Ferrand - Puy de Dôme? What's the difference?

Are we afraid of heights during our first flight?
Don't worry, you can't feel dizzy when paragliding, because you're not connected to the ground. It's an astonishingly gentle sensation, as you see the landscape a little like in a photograph. As with flying, you may be a little scared at first, but there's no sensation of vertigo.

Is paragliding a physical sport?
No, paragliding is still a physical activity, but you'll only have to take a few steps to get airborne.

How does paragliding take off?
First of all, our instructor will explain the take-off instructions at the summit of the Puy de Dôme: all you have to do is walk and don't stop. Then the glider starts to carry you gently into the air. You'll never feel like you're jumping or falling!

And in the air, under the paraglider?
Once you're in the air under the paraglider, all you have to do is sit back in your harness and let it carry you! In the air, you'll be sitting in a sort of swing with a backrest.
Once you're comfortable, enjoy your flight, and if you like, we can even let you fly for a while!

What about airsickness?
In paragliding, very few people get airsick! (around 5%).
These are people who are also very sensitive to seasickness or the back of cars. In this case, take an open-air flight: no one gets sick for 20 minutes.

And the landing?
It's a smooth, upright landing on the landing area above the welcome chalet.

Why paragliding in Puy de Dôme?
The Puy de Dôme paragliding site is one of the most famous in the world. You'll fly over the Puy de Dôme, the Auvergne volcanoes and the UNESCO World Heritage Chaîne des Puys!

It's a magical site: a must if you want to discover paragliding!

I'm still hesitating...
Don't hesitate, you just need to know if you want to do it or not!
