Aerial Activities

The scenery and grand panoramas of the mountain ranges in the Chamonix valley become even more vivid whilst airborne. You can enjoy this using either the thermals under a paragliding wing or powering through the high mountains or over glaciers in a helicopter.

Paragliding:

This popular sport in the valley involves a mountainside launch whereupon you ride the thermals suspended under a large parachute style wing. There are lots of departure options, the most popular being Plan Praz below the Brévent. No prior experience required as tandem flights are available through our partners with experienced and qualified pilots. For the thrill seekers out there ask the instructor to perform some aerobatics. Great fun & not for the faint hearted!

Helicopter rides Chamonix:

By far the most spectacular and panoramic way to enjoy the superb high mountain terrain of the Mt Blanc massif. From the helipad base below the base of the Argentière glacier you will ascend the river bed ‘Top Gun’ style to then blast between jagged mountain peaks and skim over huge crevasses, truly a once in a life time experience. There are also trips available to hover over the summit of Mt Blanc. Additionally the prices are very reasonable with something to suit every budget. Highly recommended.
