Paragliding in the Alps

Paragliding and Sky Diving

Paragliding is one of the most popular activities among extreme sports lovers worldwide. It can be enjoyed in the Alps in both the summer and wintertime. You set off by running downhill with a tandem pilot. This tandem pilot will do the actual flying and he or she can even take pictures or videos for you. Then you just relax and soar away up in the air, while you marvel at stunning views of the magnificent mountains and valleys.

If you want to experience a bigger rush, you can also try sky diving Alps style. A typical jump starts from a plane or helicopter. After free falling, you can open up your parachute and look around at the marvellous scenery that is spread out below you.
