Practical information

Similar to the discovery flight, the aim of this paragliding flight at Grand-Bornant is to use the lift to climb and gain height, sometimes more than 500 m above the take-off point.

For 20 to 30 minutes, you'll enjoy breathtaking views of the Alps and Mont Blanc.

Course of events

Please allow 1 hour in total for this activity, including around 25 minutes of paragliding.

  • Meet the instructors on the premises
  • Take the cable car up to the take-off area at Mont Lachat (2,100 metres).
  • During the ascent, the instructor will give you a briefing to help you get the most out of the take-off, but also to help you participate in and enjoy your paragliding flight.
  • You'll take off and fly for around 20 to 30 minutes (depending on the wind).
  • The landing will take place either in the village next to the ice rink, or at the Bouchet landing area, depending on the weather conditions.
