- Many ski and snowboard resorts offer activities in addition to skiing and snowboarding. Snowmobiles, ice skating, sledding... and para-skiing. I had never done it before. But when I was in Val Thorens, I decided to give it a try. The great thing about para-skiing it at Val Thorens is how you can fly right by the mountain ridges. Something I haven't seen at other resorts. It provides you a perspective of the resort that you really cannot obtain in person in any other way. I'd highly recommend it!
My "pilot" was Claire. She was awesome. This is her contact information:

Damn nice!
This is out of this world man
It totally was! Really cool to fly right along the ridge like that.
Sick 🤙🏼
Looking forward to this winter!
100 Euro for this is a steal! Tandem paragliding near my home at Seattle, WA is $295 listed and the experience is nowhere near this.
Wow, definitely worth the 100 Euros then!
Can’t do that at Granby Ranch 😂
How long is the actual flight?and can you do it on a snowboard?
The flight was about 6 minutes long. I think a snowboard would make the takeoff and landing tough because on skis, you're in front of the pilot with your skis on the inside of the pilot's skis, so balance might be a bit more precarious, and then I'm not sure if they would need to adjust the orientation of harness, because you're kind of sitting back into a chair when you're up there. Best bet would be to reach out and ask - their contact info is in the description!
