Highlights

Enjoy some fantastic heli paragliding on the Grand Combin peak.

See the beauty of the Swiss Alps while gliding through them.

Feel the thrill of a scenic helicopter ridge to the launching point.

One of the largest and most famous mountains in the Swiss Alps, the Grand Combin peak (4,314m) is a sight to behold. However, on this incredible trip, you will get to do so much more than just view this mountain. On this trip, you will get to take a scenic helicopter flight to a specific part of it. And after that, you will get to paraglide down!

For 40 to 100 minutes, you will get to enjoy the unmatched thrill that comes with riding in a helicopter and paragliding. And when you accompany that with the beauty of the fantastic Grand Combin peak, you are in for an adventure you will never forget.

Because it only takes a few hours, this trip can be the perfect addition to your vacation in the Alps. Furthermore, if you are not experienced enough to paraglide on your own, there is also the option to enjoy this trip in a tandem flight.

Filled with ice capped peaks, beautiful valleys and enormous glaciers, the Swiss Alps are a paradise for those who enjoy nature at its most picturesque. And on this trip, you will get to see them from the same vantage point as a majestic bird.

To experience the thrill of this trip, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

You can also enjoy another version of this trip that involves a flight from the Pigne d’Arolla peak.

Cher Gilbert, Juste un petit mot pour vous remercier au nom de mon fils Axel pour cette merveilleuse journée que vous lui avez fait passer dans nos belles montagnes valaisannes. En plus avec un groupe sympathique, c’est une journée qui restera gravé dans sa mémoire avant qu’il ne reparte hier soir pour reprendre le cours de ses études. En vous réitérant mes remerciements, Meilleures salutations,

Hi Gilbert, I wanted to drop you and Cédric a thank you note. You have had a crazy patience with all my complicated wishes and you really helped making it happen. I really appreciated you help and it was a super great experience, something I will not forget. We felt extremely comfortable with your guidance and hopefully there will be a chance to go on another tour in the future. I am now officially addicted to the deep snow experience J. If you need a client statement from you on your website or anything, just let me know. Happy to do so. I can also post something on social media…. Cheers and thanks again!
