Good to know
We often hear about “paragliding” but the right term is “flight”! We do not throw ourselves into the void, we take off slowly. And if you have vertigo, no problem with your feet not touching the ground, this feeling of vertigo does not exist when flying a paraglider? The instructors are real pros and will be able to accompany you in this activity which can be both very cushy and even very sensational, it's up to you to tell them what your preferences are.
Find your paragliding instructor
