Paragliding

What better way to take in the spectacular views of Morzine and Les Gets than from above? Paragliding, or parapenting as it’s known in France, is one of the most popular activities in the area. On good weather days, the sky is dotted with multicolored parachutes, creating a mesmerizing sight.

Paragliding is not for the faint-hearted, as it involves launching yourself off the side of a mountain. However, once in the air, the breathtaking views make it all worthwhile. You’ll take off from the Super Morzine side of the valley and gracefully float down, landing somewhere at the base of the Pleney.

For guests staying at Cairn Lodge, we can arrange for you to land in a perfect field right outside the chalet, offering an incredibly convenient and unforgettable experience. Whether you’re seeking an adrenaline rush or simply want to enjoy the stunning alpine scenery from a unique perspective, paragliding in Morzine is an adventure you won’t want to miss.

Several companies around Morzine and Les Gets offer tandem paragliding flights, providing an unforgettable experience for those looking to soar above the stunning alpine landscape. If you’re interested in learning to paraglide, consider taking a 4 or 5-day course.

Additionally, children’s tandem jumps are available, ensuring that even your little ones can experience the thrill of paragliding. Just let us know when booking, and we’ll make the necessary arrangements. Whether you’re seeking a one-time adventure or looking to master the skies, we can help you achieve your paragliding dreams.
