It was such an incredible experience! After watching people paraglide the day before and only finding out ON THE DAY that I was going to do it, I was so worried at first that I’d trip and mess up before take off, but the guides were so helpful and reassuring. Still cannot get over how beautiful the view was, could see the entire valley! The guides provided a GoPro as well if you wanted a video of it for a bit of a fee, but completely worth it!! I would absolutelyyy go again if I could. Thank you so much!!!vittoriadim

I did my tandem flight with Jean-Charles and it was very fun because he let me fly and we did some acrobatic moves, but he is very careful with what the person needs. I recommend it.
