Paragliding · Les Gets, Portes du Soleil
How to choose
Both tours are operated by Air Libre Les Gets at 95 € each, with no price gap to justify. The real difference is season and airtime. The winter flight is fixed at 1h total, suited for those who want the snow-capped Portes du Soleil panorama with a crisp alpine backdrop. The standard tandem flight runs the warmer months (May to September) and also lasts 1h, though thermals in summer can provide a different lift profile. If you want to maximize visibility of the Mont Blanc massif, book the summer flight. If a winter flight over Les Gets is the plan, the winter tandem option is your only choice.

Frequently asked questions
What's the most intense moment of the flight?
Launch. You run off the slope, the wing catches the air, and the ground drops away in seconds. After that, the sensation shifts to a sustained float over the Alps, which is its own kind of rush.
Do I need any paragliding experience to book?
None at all. Both tours are rated “Everybody welcome” and you fly tandem with a certified instructor. No training required before the day.
How long am I actually in the air?
The winter flight is a fixed 1h experience including ground time. The standard tandem flight also lists a 1h duration, though airtime varies based on thermal conditions and wind speed.
Is paragliding over Les Gets seasonal?
The standard tandem flight runs May through September. The winter flight operates during the ski season. Both are available at the same price: 95 €.
Can I fly if I'm afraid of heights?
Many first-timers are. The sensation at launch is brief and intense, but once you're gliding, the lack of surrounding structure makes it feel less vertiginous than a cliff edge or a tall building. Your instructor manages the flight entirely.

Practical info
Equipment
Wear warm, wind-resistant layers regardless of ground temperature: altitude drops it fast. Bring sunglasses and secure any loose items before launch since both tours are physically accessible to everyone but the wind at altitude is unforgiving.
