Paragliding with the Bureau des Guides de La Grave

For flights over the Écrins and Oisans, our guides, who also hold paragliding qualifications, offer tandem flights from the summer opening of the Glaciers de la Meije cable car in mid-June until its closure in mid-September. To make the most of the site's aerological conditions, flights often take place in the morning. Take off from the Col des Ruillans at 3,200 m, reached by cable car, and fly over the valleys of the Meije, its glaciers and larch forests, before landing at the village of La Grave or the Pied du Col in Villar d'Arêne. Grandiose!

Recommendations: remember to dress warmly (mountain pants, Gore-tex windproof jacket, hat, sunglasses) and wear mountain boots (hiking boots or summer mountaineering boots).
