If you thought that the views of the mountains were great on skis, just imagine how much better they would be if you could fly like a bird!

Well, imagine no longer.

Many of the peaks in La Plagne are home to companies that offer Parapente flights.

Air La Plagne, based at the Grand Rochette, is one such company.

You can be airborne for a modest 70 Euros. This will get you a short introductory flight, lasting about five minutes and descending 500m. Strapped to your pilot, you ski down the slope and are soon airborne and as free as a bird.

Splash the cash a little more and you can have a “Sensation” flight for 100 Euros, whilst the ‘Vol Prestige’ is just 30 Euros more and will give you the twists and turns of the full parapente experience.

And if you really want to go large, the ‘Adrenaline’ flight will see you as “The King or Queen of La Plagne” flying from the top of the Grand Rochette to the valley floor. A taxi is waiting to whisk you back to resort. Fabulous!

So, why not take a look at the weather forecast, pick a bluebird day and get airborne!
