Paragliding Video

Want to fly over Val d'Isere? Then try paragliding.

The mountains look stunning from the air and the quietest and most peaceful way to see them is on a paragliding wing. This video was shot in Chamonix in the summer but paragliding is a very popular winter sport too and it's available in nearly every ski resort in the Alps. You don't need to be very fit to try it either. If you can ski or jog for 10 meters then you can fly. Just be sure to wrap up warm!
