This sort of flying is Paragliding or in French Parapente - one of the closest feelings to flying you will ever be able to experience. Having first seen our in-house Ski & Snowboard instructor, Fred and then our Webmaster, Sandy get totally addicted to this sport in the skies above Chamonix, we at FreshTraxxx had to check it out . . . and agree that it is totally amazing and had to be tried again . . . and again !
Fred is now a fully qualified and well regarded instructor with hundreds of flights under his belt ( I was with him for his 1st tandem flight ! ) . . . And it is time to let everyone try this amazing sport !
Available from May 1st - Nov 1st, ( for ages 15 - 75 ! ) Fresh Traxxx are offering Self and Fully Catered Flying holidays in Chalet accommodation, on a Nightly or Weekly basis.
All our flying is done through Sandie Cochpain . . ( women's world paragliding champion ) and the best flying school in Chamonix, Les Ailles du Mont Blanc. Courses are available for total beginners, experienced pilots and for those of you that want to run off Brevent with a wing smaller than a kite surf kite, acro and SIV courses can be arranged over Lake Annecy. Tell us what you want to do and we can help you book it. Please look at their official website for more details.
BEGINNER COURSES START FROM 250 EUROS
