Parapenting in Les Gets

Parapenting is a wonderful experience for those looking for a truly memorable holiday in Les Gets. Called Paragliding in English, though most people still refer to it by the French name Parapenting, this is where you fly from the top of the mountain using a large parachute before gliding down to the valley floor. It may sound quite extreme, but it is in actual fact much more gentle than you might think.

You start normally on the top of Mont Chery in Les Gets. You are strapped to the instructor, who will do all the flying for you. Together you jog down the mountain side for just a few paces before the parachute lifts you off into the air! You then glide over Les Gets village. The views on a sunny day are just spectacular, there's no better way to see the stunning scenery our mountains have to offer.
