PARAGLIDING COURSES & TRAINING
Our students learn to paraglide with :
Multiple training sites
The Bauges Massif is a preserved and authentic area, easily accessible yet away from the crowds. It is a perfect place to learn and progress in paragliding.
Our school, located in Lescheraines, has multiple launch and landing sites nearby, either accessible by shuttle, 4X4 or on foot.
Over the course of each training session, we travel to many of these sites to make the best of the weather conditions, which will help you to develop rigorous decision making skills and flexibility as a pilot.
Lightweight gear
- Brand new wings, designed with lightweight materials
- Light and compact reversible harnesses, as comfortable in flight as when carried on your back
- Square-shaped and lightweight emergency reserve parachutes
- Personalized advice to help you choose the best equipment for you when you are ready to invest into having your own gear
Hike & Fly
Hike and fly (hiking up before taking off) is our favorite approach to paragliding at Bauges Parapente; it is the best way to explore our mountain range.
If you are curious about this practice, we will be happy to add some elements specific to hike & fly into our teaching and perhaps even plan and experience a first hike & fly experience over the course of your training.
Our small, flexible and proactive team of certified instructors allows us to adapt our instruction according to your desires and objectives.
Will the course be taught in English ?
Although our instructors speak English, we are unable to offer courses exclusively in English. To ensure a seamless experience for all participants, the main instruction will be delivered in French. However, radio guidance in English and regular translations during theory classes can be provided. For this reason, we recommend that participants have at least a basic understanding of French to fully benefit from the training. Course descriptions are available below in French for your reference.
If you’d like to arrange a private group session or one-on-one lessons, we can provide instruction in English. Please contact us for more details.
This is the introductory course for anyone who wants to experience their first radio-guided flight.

FLEXIBLE COACHING
Where do we fly during our training courses?
During our paragliding courses, we operate across a dozen takeoff sites around our school in Lescheraines. Some are located in the heart of the Bauges mountain range, while others stretch outward toward destinations like Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains, Annecy, or the Combe de Savoie.
This diversity allows us to fly almost every day during the peak season, adapting our choices to the weather conditions at the time. We take our students to the locations where the conditions are most favorable for an optimal flying experience.
Our playground :
- In blue : The official sites, mostly used for their convenient shuttle access.
- In orange : The classic hike and fly spots in the Bauges, perfect for those looking for a more sporty and immersive adventure.
Other remarkable sites in Savoie and Haute-Savoie can enrich your experience, depending on your preferences and level. We love introducing these hidden gems to our students, offering variety and unforgettable moments.
