École de parapente des Arcs

With 30 years of experience, our paragliding school welcomes you to our sites in Bourg Saint Maurice, Peisey Vallandry, and Les Arcs. Whether it’s a tandem flight or a course, we will share our passion for paragliding with you.

Visit our “Tandem” page this year where we offer “Pilotage” options (you pilot in dual controls) and “Aerobatics” (or Adrenaline: sequence of aerobatic maneuvers such as 360, wings over… with our best acrobatic pilots). It’s a gift of €30 to €50, just ask for it upon registration, available on all flights.

Our paragliding school is EFVL certified by the French Free Flight Federation, ensuring quality instruction and approved equipment that we renew every year.

New this year is the SKI & FLY, combining skiing and off-piste paragliding.

From April 23rd to September 30th, we offer initiation and advanced paragliding courses for all levels every week. Contact us to reserve.

Please note that we only accommodate a maximum of seven students per week, so it’s important to reserve your spot as soon as possible as we often have to turn away students every week.

The Paragliding School of Les Arcs is committed to the quality of your courses: maximum of 7 students per group, new 2023 equipment for each student (helmet, harness, parachute, and paraglider).

We are present at all paragliding sites in Les Arcs, including Arc 1600, Arc 1800, Arc 1950, and Arc 2000.

A small gesture for the planet: During the summer season, we use ski lifts to reach take-off points, reducing the number of cars on the roads and our carbon footprint, also for the comfort of our students. We aim for zero plastic in our shuttles, providing you with the insulated water bottle “eau des Arcs” during your course.

In our online shop, you will find all the equipment of your dreams.

In partnership with Arc Aventures, with whom we share offices, you can also enjoy all mountain outdoor activities during your vacation, such as whitewater rafting on the Isère, tree-top adventure courses, canyoning, skiing lessons, and snowshoeing offered by ESI.
