Our take
A take-off from the summit of the Puy de Dôme, at 1,465 m. You see the Chaîne des Puys from above, lined up from north to south, just like in the photos that made it famous. A perspective that only paraglider pilots and buzzards know.
Take-off from the summit of the Puy de Dôme, at 1,465 m, with the Chaîne des Puys passing beneath your feet during the flight.
Tandem paragliding flights taking off from the summit of the Puy de Dôme, at 1,465 m, alongside a state-qualified instructor. Suitable from age 5 and from 20 to 85 kg, but not for pregnant women. A view looking down over the Chaîne des Puys and the Limagne during the flight. Prices displayed in 2026: €100 for the discovery flight, €120 for the thrill flight, €170 for the long-duration flight, €220 for the all-inclusive flight, and €30 for the photo and video option. Flights depend on the wind: the slot is arranged with the team according to the weather.
Why we love it
- Taking off from the summit of the Puy de Dôme
- The Chaîne des Puys seen from the sky, during the flight
- The surrounding valleys and the World Heritage-listed volcanic landscapes, seen from the sky
- A moment of contemplation, suspended between sky and volcano
Top tip
Morning slot = steadier wind, late-afternoon slot = golden light for photos. Video and photos as an option, well worth it.
Before you go
- The date and time of the flight are arranged with the team, according to your availability and the weather
- Come in closed, comfortable lace-up shoes (trainers or walking shoes); the helmet is provided
