Frequently Asked Questions
Unfortunately, the choice of flight location depends entirely on the weather conditions. So it will be a surprise!
You will be contacted the evening before at 8 pm to let you know the time and meeting point.
A good pair of closed-toe shoes (trainers or walking boots), a pair of trousers (it’s cooler up in the air!), a windbreaker and sunglasses. Feel free to put on an extra jumper before take-off.
I can carry a passenger weighing up to 110kg; above that weight, the equipment will not be suitable.
No, as long as the passenger can stand and take a few brisk steps. Please do let us know if you have any physical limitations when booking, and we will suggest a more suitable time slot based on the weather forecast.
Don’t panic! You can’t get vertigo when paragliding, as you’re no longer in contact with the ground. What’s more, there’s no ‘jump’ involved: take-off is a gradual process; you won’t have to run and then let yourself fall…
Only flights actually taken are paid for; there is no deposit or advance payment required.
Payment is made on the spot, after the flight, by cheque or in cash.
Disabilities do not prevent you from flying, but some do require special equipment: there are even ‘flying wheelchairs’! Please do not hesitate to contact us.
