I came down to Chamonix for a weekend with some mates and tried a spot of paragliding with Fly Chamonix. It was an amazing and unforgettable experience, particularly as there was still a lot of snow around for the time of year (end of May). You have the thrill of running off the side of a mountain combined with the... More

I had a fantastic flight! Coming from warm Queensland (Australia) and very unfamiliar with snow, Sean's instructions were spot-on and professional. I was so excited to be able to confidently run and jump off the Alps, to float quietly over Chamonix. It was late spring - the sky perfect blue, freshly fallen snow and the hills and fields so green.... More

It was just amazing! We came to Chamonix only for one night and the weather was looking pretty bad so we had very little chance to fly. When we arrived last Saturday we went straight from the airport to meet Sean and his team where he took us with his car up the mountain to the take off point. the... More

My wife and I went paragliding with Sean and on our recent visit to chamonix, and what an experience it was. The weather forcast was pretty crappy and our trip needed to be postponed for a few days. But one morning the weather was perfect so Sean called us at our hotel and an hour & a half later we... More

Just returned from a long weekend in Chamonix and all we spoke about on the way home was the paragliding! The whole experience was magnificent, definitely the highlight of the trip! Sean was superb, from arranging via email beforehand, to weather updates, to meeting and to eventually “flying” with his team - the whole operation is first class. He also... More

A review long due.. Took this activity in June 2011 for the first time in my life. Waited for Sean at the midhill cable car station, he was right on time and he was very thorough in the safety preparations and briefings. When we were supposed to take off, he told me to simply run off the cliff. It was... More

My gf and I paraglided for the first time today, and it was absolutely amazing! The company and its staffs are truly professionals. Good communication from online reservation a month ago until the actual day. We wanted to paraglide from Auguille du Midi, but the weather was not suitable, so Sean from Fly Chamonix worked it out where we would... More

This was the highlight of our trip! Excellent staff, excellent fun. The perfect way to spend a day off the ski hills. It was very gentle and peaceful. My wife and I even went back for a second flight.

After spending a week in a chalet in Chamonix we were told about paragliding. I had major surgery on my back 9 weeks previously and was allowed to snow board so I was a bit nervous. I had a in depth talk to the guy that runs the gliding and on the day Matthew my instructor/pilot explained the procedure and... More

I decided (after a bit of coaxing from my partner) to try paragliding with Fly Chamonix. I was at the tail end of a 5 month overseas trip so this experience had a lot to beat! Sean my guide was fantastic, I felt completely safe so I was pleasantly excited not sick with nerves which is what I was expecting.... More
