Paragliding-Takeoff-Point

The tandem paragliding flight is conducted by a certified instructor and normally takes off from Plan Praz, lasting between 15 and 25 minutes depending on wind conditions. If Plan Praz is unavailable due to weather or cable car closure, there is an option to fly from Plan de l'Aiguille with an additional cost of 20 euros, or to cancel the booking. Between September 18th and October 20th, the Plan Praz takeoff site is closed for cable car maintenance, so flights will depart from Plan de l'Aiguille. In this case, the meeting point is at the base of the Aiguille du Midi cable car. Contact is recommended for further details.
