🇫🇷 My First Time Paragliding - And in Chamonix France

before tour du mont blanc

Hey there Outdoor Lover!

I recently had my first paragliding experience ever and it was in Chamonix, and let me tell you, it was a ride of a lifetime! I was a bit nervous at first, but my experienced pilot made me feel at ease and even cracked a few jokes to calm my nerves.

Watch the Video Here of what it’s really like…

As we took off, I couldn't believe the stunning views of the mountains and glaciers. It was like nothing I had ever seen before. And the feeling of flying through the air was absolutely exhilarating. We actually climbed up higher and higher - the Valley has great “thermic activity” said my pilot.

And the best part? It's the perfect activity to pair with a hut-to-hut hiking trip on the Tour du Mont Blanc. I’m working on that guide right now to share with you all.

Guillaume my pilot specialized in “long distance paragliding” and he said that he can do the entire Tour du Mont Blanc in the air in only 4 hours.

We were not that fast on foot.

Until next time, Adventures Await!
