Axiom Parapente

Love the Pyrenean heights? Come and experience your paragliding baptism at Axiom Parapente, departing from Argelès-Gazost! From the Gave de Lavedan valley, and a few kilometers from Lourdes, take off from the peaks of the Pyrenees for a sensational paragliding flight.

At Axiom Parapente, we welcome you from spring to autumn for tandem flights, departing from our Argelès base. The mountain ranges surrounding the town are ideal for paragliding. A dizzying drop in altitude is guaranteed, with an incredible panoramic view of the snow-covered peaks!

Our takeoffs are mainly carried out from two sites:

• The Couraduque Pass: at 1400 meters of altitude, enjoy a panoramic view of the Pyrenees National Park! At your feet stretches the Val d’Azun, and before your eyes, the steep slopes of the Pic du Midi d’Arrens. You won't know where to turn!
• The Hautacam Ridges: finally make Icarus' dream come true by flying to 1650 meters of altitude! This takeoff location offers varied routes depending on the weather. Fly over Lake Gaves and the Lavedan valley, or push on to the Pic du Midi de Bigorre for a contemplative walk, full of gentle sensations. For the more daredevil among you, the significant difference in altitude offered by this flight allows you to perform pirouettes and acrobatics. Dizzying sensations!

Tandem flights are accessible to children, and are obviously carried out with an approved and experienced instructor. He will be at your disposal throughout the flight and will be able to suggest different routes and acrobatics, if you wish. Take advantage of our video option to keep the photos of your baptism forever! Our photographer is waiting for you upon landing to immortalize your first steps as a budding paraglider.

Passing through Lourdes, or on the way to the ski resorts of Cauterets and Gavarnie? Don’t hesitate to stop at Argelès-Gazost for your paragliding experience! An unforgettable journey from the clouds.
