Soar more than a kilometre over the valley and get a genuine bird’s eye view of the mountains. Tandem paragliding requires no experience, just warm clothes and a head for heights.

Paragliding flights offer skiers and non-skiers the chance to see the world from a whole new perspective - a unique and truly bird's-eye view of the area. Fast and with precipitous drops, tandem paragliding flights are spectacular.

Whether as a non-ski activity or a unique way to finish a day of skiing, tandem flights take clients back to the resort in an unforgettable fashion. In truth, the head for heights isn't something needed for take off, and by that stage, it's too late!

SOME OF THE BEST LOCATIONS TO PARAGLIDE ON A CORPORATE SKI EVENT

The action capital of the world, Chamonix, is a world-beater for action sports. Few views of Mont Blanc or the Aiguille du Midi are as spectacular as those from beneath a paraglider wing.

Launch off from the Hahnenkamm station and fly over the world’s most famous ski trail. There are a few more stylish ways to arrive in the stunning resort of Kitzbühel.

Paragliding on a corporate ski trip

There are a couple of common ways to launch off snow, either on foot or on skis. Both take-offs require a slope and commitment from the pilot and passenger to accelerate and keep moving until the paraglider wing hauls them off terra firma.

Unlike bungee jumping, less nerve is required since the passenger is on the ground and launches off an incline. The height between the flight and the valley floor can be in excess of 1km, making for some incredible views.

Pilots are specifically trained to undertake tandem paragliding flights. The passenger (the client) is strapped to the pilot and required to follow the pilot’s instructions. Run like hell. Screaming is optional.

Once airborne, the passenger can become more involved in the flight as the canopy is steered to access the thermals that maintain altitude. Very often, pilots will have an action camera mounted somewhere to capture the flight, while landings in resorts can be dramatic and memorable occasions.

Other corporate ski event activities

Paragliding is a fantastic activity for skiers and non-skiers. For those who are less willing to throw themselves off a mountain, there are many more activity options in the Alps.

Alternative to Paragliding - Zip line

Trusting a cable rather than a canopy, zip lines do an equally great job of terrifying the passenger. More precipitous drops and circling birds.
