About Air Chamonix
Tandem Paragliding in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc
AirChamonix is a specialist tandem paragliding company based in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France, offering unforgettable flights above the Chamonix Valley and the Mont Blanc massif.
Whether you are taking your first paragliding flight, looking for a longer scenic flight, or want an adrenaline-filled experience, our aim is simple: to give you a safe, personal and memorable way to experience Chamonix from the sky.
AirChamonix is led by Richard Taylor, a full-time paragliding instructor and professional tandem pilot who has been flying tandem passengers since 2014. Paragliding is more than a job for Richard—it is his passion, and he loves sharing the freedom of flight and the incredible mountain scenery of Chamonix with people from all over the world.
Experienced pilots and a personal approach
Your safety and enjoyment are our priorities. We work with a carefully selected team of professional tandem pilots who combine technical experience with a friendly, relaxed approach.
Before every flight, your pilot will explain what to expect and help you prepare for take-off. Once airborne, you can simply sit back, relax and enjoy the panoramic views of Mont Blanc, the Chamonix Valley, glaciers and the surrounding Alpine peaks.
No previous paragliding experience is required for our tandem flights. You do not need to know how to fly a paraglider—the pilot takes care of the flying while you enjoy the experience.
We select the flight time and flying site according to the weather, aerology and your individual circumstances. Because paragliding is weather-dependent, we will always put safe flying conditions ahead of simply getting into the air.
Tandem paragliding flights for all types of adventure
We offer a range of tandem paragliding experiences in Chamonix, from gentle introductory flights to longer and more adventurous experiences.
Every flight is different because every day in the mountains is different. Your pilot will choose the most appropriate conditions and flight plan with safety, enjoyment and the best possible experience in mind.
More than tandem flights
AirChamonix also provides paragliding coaching and SIV training for pilots who want to improve their flying skills and confidence.
Our coaching can cover areas such as ground handling, take-off technique, thermal flying, cross-country flying, high-mountain flying, fly-to-ski and paragliding equipment. Our SIV courses take place at Lake Garda, Italy, where the terrain and altitude difference provide an excellent environment for developing piloting skills.

Experience Chamonix from the sky
Chamonix is one of the world's great mountain destinations, and seeing it from a paraglider gives you a completely different perspective. Instead of looking up at the peaks, you can glide alongside them, looking down over the valley, glaciers, forests and Alpine landscape.
If you are searching for tandem paragliding in Chamonix, a first flight above Mont Blanc, or simply an unforgettable adventure in the French Alps, we would love to take you flying.

To suffer from vertigo you must be in contact with the ground, it is normal to have a healthy fear of heights but in flight you are seated comfortably and feel secure so this anxiety is extremely rare with our passengers.
While paragliding looks extremely smooth from a distance there are constant movements, like being on a boat. If you suffer from motion sickness it is best to fly early in the morning (until 10 O'clock) to have the smoothest conditions, imagine a calm lake. Later in the day thermal currents develop which make for great flying but are less smooth, imagine a rougher sea.
We typically meet at the bottom of the lift serving the take off. In your booking confirmations you will find this detailed in the "Tickets.pdf" attachment with a google maps link.
Paragliding is a Weather dependant activity, Strong winds, Rain and snow can prevent us from flying safely. We suggest booking your flight for the beginning of your stay to allow us to reschedule your flight in necessary.
