A few running steps, the wing fills… and the ground slips away. Below you, the glacial valleys of Europe's largest volcano. Your pilot takes care of everything: all you have to do is open your eyes wide.
Imagine hanging above a sleeping volcano, carried by the warm air rising from the summer pastures. No engine, no road: only the breath of the wind in the wing, and a 360° panorama opening up around you.
Herds become dots in the pastures, stone shepherd huts appear in the hollows of the valleys, and the Cantal summits roll by like a relief map. On clear days, your gaze reaches all the way to the Sancy massif.
Golden morning light on the ridges, afternoon thermals, the softness of the evening… Every flight is unique. This is not just a paragliding ride: it is Cantal as the vultures see it.
Equipment, briefing and supervision included. The contribution includes membership of the association (€60) and supports its projects.
The first take-off, nice and gentle. Time to feel the wing carry you, to tame the void… and to fall in love with the landscape.
We climb in the thermals, like the vultures circling above the ridges. The ground drops away, the horizon opens up: thirty minutes to taste real free flight.
The big journey: we circle up the thermals towards the clouds and fly over the volcanoes from ridge to ridge. Photos and video included to relive every moment.
HD photos and an onboard video of your whole flight, to make those who stayed on the ground dream. Included in the Big flight.
The gift nobody forgets: a voucher valid for one year on every flight, for a birthday, a celebration or just for the joy of it.
Share the adventure, from 4 people: families, groups of friends, birthdays, hen and stag parties…
For the most curious, weather permitting: a taste of acro, and big flights of more than 2 hours in spring and summer.
Write to us through the form or on WhatsApp. Together we choose your flight and the best slot for the weather.
At take-off, facing the view, your pilot kits you out and explains everything. Ten minutes, and the nerves turn into excitement.
Three running steps, the wing lifts you… and you are flying. The pilot handles everything, you just enjoy.
A gentle landing in the meadows, a smile from ear to ear, then the ride back up to tell everyone about your flight.
Holder of a professional tandem pilot diploma with more than 2,500 flying hours, Mayeul flies tandem professionally in winter. In summer, he comes back to Cantal for one reason: to share his passion.
No conveyor-belt flights here. He picks the right site and the right moment, takes the time to reassure you, and makes every minute in the air your own.
Depending on the day, other pilots of the association who hold the French federation tandem qualification also fly passengers.
The site is chosen on the day, according to the wind and the light: the ridges of Puy Mary, a Grand Site de France, Plomb du Cantal, the wild Brezons valley, Puy Gros or Saint-Clément. Each one shows another face of the volcanoes.
Comfortable clothes suited to the weather. Even if it is hot below, the air is cooler at altitude. Closed shoes are compulsory (trainers or hiking boots); trousers and a windbreaker are recommended, plus sunglasses to enjoy the view.
No. Vertigo only appears when you are physically connected to the ground, at the edge of a cliff for instance. Once in the air it disappears, leaving a very peaceful gliding sensation.
From 5 years old, with no upper age limit. Written parental consent is required for minors. You just need to be able to run a few steps at take-off.
No experience is needed: in a tandem, the pilot handles the whole flight. The site and the time of day are chosen according to the conditions so you can fly with peace of mind.
Safety comes first. If the weather is not suitable, the flight is postponed at no cost. Your pilot gets in touch the day before to confirm.
140 kg maximum for the passenger. Please give your weight when you book: it influences the choice of site and time slot.
Through the contact form, WhatsApp or by phone. Payment is made on the day of the flight, by cash, cheque or bank transfer. A deposit may be requested for groups.
The Cantal sky is waiting for you. Write to us: our tandem pilot usually replies within a few hours to find the right slot for the weather and your wishes.
Staying in Cantal or elsewhere in Auvergne? A tandem paragliding flight is the most beautiful way to discover the Monts du Cantal from the sky: Puy Mary, a "Grand Site de France", Plomb du Cantal, the Brezons valley and the landscapes of the Volcans d'Auvergne Regional Nature Park.
We fly across the whole massif, between Aurillac, Murat, Vic-sur-Cère, Salers and Saint-Flour, a few minutes from the Le Lioran resort. Open to everyone from age 5, tandem paragliding is perfect for families, couples and groups of friends: a must-do outdoor activity for your holidays in France.
