Discovery Tandem Flight Session

Discovery Session: Flight + Take-off trainning session

Les Ailes du Mont Blanc offers you a unique product in Chamonix: a discovery flight from Planpraz (or the Plan de l'Aiguille out of season), and a school slope session to start learning how to handle the glider on the ground and the take-off basics.

 First steps towards a training course.
 Take off at the foot of Brévent, facing the exceptional Mont Blanc panorama. Fly towards the Aiguilles Rouges or the Aiguillette des Houches ... or out of season in the spring  from Plan de l’Aiguille over the Bossons glacier

Flight duration: 15-25min

Activity time: 1h for the flight + 1h of ground handling/school slope (the activity time will depend on the weather conditions for the day)
The best conditions are in the morning from 9am to 11am

Meeting point : at the bottom of Planpraz gondola (Brevent area) – or at the bottom of Aiguille du Midi cable-car ( may-june-september)

Gondola ticket: (one way Plan Praz): 14,50 € or 17,50 € Plan de l’Aiguille

Thank you for arriving 5/10 minutes before the appointment time to purchase your lift ticket.
