The Guisane valley, near Briançon, is a magnificent place to learn paragliding, with breathtaking
scenery and varied, fun places to practice. Serre Chevalier Parapente can help you discover
paragliding all year round, through courses and private lessons.
offers private lessons with :
• Quality flying equipment of the year.
• A 9-seater vehicle for access to the flying sites.
• Spacious premises to welcome you.
• Instructors who are qualified, passionate and involved in your training.
We offer an introduction to paragliding with your first big flights, either solo with radio guidance or in a two-seater (tandem) with an instructor.
Beforehand, you’ll spend two or three days on the ground learning how to handle the wing and getting to grips with the equipment.
Theoretical lessons on flight control are provided to go over the important points and answer any questions you may have… and during the last few days, the skies open up for you!
With an instructor, we’ll take you closer to autonomy in calm air, on a known site. A short training slope session is carried out to validate what you have learnt.
You will gradually be freed from radio guidance and will be able to use the decision-making indicators to take off, fly and land safely.
Prerequisite: You must already have made long flights using radio guidance.
