Orcières Parapente

Looking for an off-season activity in the Southern Alps? At Orcières Parapente, we have exactly what you need. All year round and departing from the town of Orcières, we offer two-seater paragliding baptisms. Accustomed to skiing on the slopes, come and discover the Alps in an unusual way with our passionate instructors!

The flight techniques used by our professionals are based on the use of ascending currents. Like birds of prey using them to rise into the clouds, we put physics at the service of your sensations! When the aerological and temperature conditions allow it, the sails inflate with hot air and exploit the air currents taking you to the summits of the Alps.

From initiation to contemplative flight, our team has concocted various aerial recipes that will suit all audiences:

• The ascent flight: exploit the warm currents for a unique experience, between dizzying ascent and peaceful descent of the Orcières valley.

• The “valley tour” flight: longer than the first, this one allows you to get close to the highest mountains of the Southern Alps by rising above the valley! You will be accompanied by a state-certified instructor, who will ensure your safety and teach you the secrets of paragliding piloting.

All our two-seater introductions take you to discover the Écrins National Park, a center of Alpine fauna and flora preserved for generations. From the green valleys of Champsaur to the snow-capped peaks of the massifs, a breathtaking panoramic view awaits you!

In order to immortalize your aerial experience, we provide a photo and video option. Taken by our experienced cameraman, these are the ideal souvenir to share with your loved ones to show them your Alpine odyssey!

On the way to the slopes, stop off at Orcières and take flight like a bird with Orcières Parapente!
