Combo paragliding / alpinism
Jonathan Joly, emblematic guide of the Ecrins, and Damien Lacaze, X-Alps pilot and paragliding instructor combine their experience to offer something original.
Rare courses where the watchword is: don’t forbid us anything! Depending on the level, the aspirations of the trainees and the conditions, we can envisage incredible things!
High mountain takeoffs with small ultra-light sails: Dome des Ecrins, Pelvoux, Ailefroide, Roche Forio, ...
And why not mountaineering and paragliding combos: placed at high altitude with your cross-country sail (light) then make a summit. If the conditions are there, the possibilities are enormous.
On the other hand, you need a homogeneous group with a level of piloting and sufficient physical training as well as equipment
adapted.
We will adapt the objectives according to the profiles of the pilots who apply: simple splashes after day climbs, or
combos and rests at high altitude if you are also a crossman. the concept, being open to everything!
