Progression course

Espace 3D hike-and-fly

Organizer: Espace 3D Parapente ↗

A course by Espace 3D that combines mountain hiking with paragliding: you walk up to the launch and fly back down. It is aimed at students who have completed a beginner course and want to learn to move safely in the mountains and prepare both the ascent and the flight: analysing weather, aerology and terrain to choose the route and launch, adapting equipment and physical effort, and building mountain autonomy. It is led by two state-qualified instructors, one of them a qualified mountain leader; the site is chosen the day before around Lake Annecy, in the Bauges, in the Combe de Savoie and elsewhere in Savoie and Haute-Savoie. The school can lend ultralight equipment, and non-flying companions can join and take a tandem flight (at most two places per day).
