Tandem Paragliding over the Alps in Verbier, Switzerland
Come and enjoy an unforgettable tandem paragliding trip in the Alps of Verbier, Switzerland with IFMGA certified guide Gilbert.
Highlights
Enjoy tandem paragliding in Verbier, Switzerland.
Gaze at the Swiss Alps while floating around them like a bird.
Spend some time exploring the lovely town of Verbier.
Description
A beautiful place in the Alps of Switzerland, Verbier will be the area you will get to take off from and gaze upon during this tandem paragliding adventure.
Perfect for people who are looking for a great opportunity to see not only Verbier, but the incredible Alps from an unforgettable perspective, this trip will leave you amazed long after it is over. Also, because this trip only lasts 20 minutes, it will be very easy to squeeze into even the fullest of itineraries. And if you have a little more free time, there is also a longer, thermic flight option that lasts between 40 – 60 minutes. Thus allowing you to see even more. Finally, if you are with the family, there is also a paragliding option for children as well!
Seeing the Alps in any fashion is amazing. However, getting to see them from an altitude exceeding 1000 meters, gliding among them like a bird, is an experience unlike any other. And our well trained guides will see to it that experience is as safe and secure as it will be fun and thrilling.
Would you like to enjoy some tandem paragliding in the Alps? Then send us a request and we’ll take you up into the sky.

Bonjour Anne-Françoise, La sortie de samedi dernier m’a entièrement ravi : excellente ambiance, baptême de l’air paisible, parcours de toute beauté sous l’œil attentif et encourageant de Peter, bref un grand moment de ski, en prime sous un ciel parfaitement dégagé ! Bravo pour l’organisation, en ce compris la navette de retour et la livraison sur place des packs de sécurité. Merci pour tout et….à la prochaine !!!

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!

Some times u meet people you call \"mentors\" in your work, or in your life. Very proud of the book of my friend and free-ride instructor for the last 8 years! In the book marked the steepest couloir I ever ride in my life (couloir d\'Arpette). Thank you Gilbert
Plus de temps doit être consacré à la familiarisation de l\'équipement qu\'on portait dans nos sacs, pelle, sonde. Quoi faire si le guide est emporté par une avalanche, une deuxième radio devrait être porté par un des clients, comment utiliser les émetteurs de détresse lors d\'une recherche.
