Paragliding Grenoble - Tandem flight over Matheysine Lakes

Aerological Expertise South of Grenoble

Catch the updrafts
far from urban congestion

Why limit yourself to the crowded sites of the valley? The Matheysine plateau is the ultimate playground for a technical and serene flight. Here, our take-off zones (Sénépy, Connest) range from 900m to 1700m in altitude, providing healthy aerology and a consistent breeze.

Far from mass tourism structures, we use the generous thermal updrafts of the plateau to optimize the wing's glide ratio. A tandem paragliding flight south of Grenoble becomes a true lesson in piloting and contemplation, away from the turbulent air of the city basin.

YOUR PARAGLIDING FLIGHT
STEP BY STEP

A tandem flight above the Grenoble basin is an art. Here is how we turn your dream into reality, blending technique with pure sensation.

01

Briefing & Gear

Welcome at the take-off site. We equip you with a high-comfort harness and a helmet. We explain the safety instructions and the crucial wing inflation phase.

02

Smooth Take-off

No jumping into the void here. A simple steady run is all it takes. The wing rises, takes your weight, and the magic happens: you leave the ground without any shock, carried by the air mass.

03

Piloting & Thermals

Depending on your flight, we choose aerodynamic gliding in calm air or use thermal updrafts to gain altitude and explore the massifs. Intro to piloting and adaptive aerobatics available on every flight at no extra cost.

04

Serene Landing

The return to earth is perfectly smooth on the Matheysine plateau. An approach managed to the millimeter by your instructor for a soft, upright landing on your legs in total safety.

TECHNICAL SKILL & PEDAGOGY:
THE SENSATION OF GLIDING

Flying south of Grenoble means choosing a wild alternative to crowded sites. As a tandem flight specialist, I prioritize air mass analysis and comfort for total immersion.

Zero "Factory" Effect

Here, we don't just "consume" a flight. We take the time to study local aerology before every tandem flight. A privileged moment, far from the hustle and bustle of the Grenoble city basin.

Mountain Aerology

Our sites (Matheysine, Trieves) offer a healthy air mass between 900m and 1700m. Escape the thermal inversions of the valley for optimal lift and flight comfort.

Piloting Mastery

Become an actor in your flight. If conditions allow, I will introduce you to aerodynamic glide optimization and the basics of wing piloting.

FAQ: FLIGHT TECHNIQUE
& LOCAL EXPERIENCE

What is the difference in aerology compared to the valley?
+
Unlike the valley, which becomes very stable with no updrafts in summer (especially during heatwaves), the plateau allows for high-altitude take-offs to escape this layer. We find an unstable air mass, meaning it is ascending, which is essential for a high-quality thermal flight.
Can we see Mont Blanc or the Vercors?
+
The Vercors massif and the Obiou are visible on all our flights. On clear days, if updrafts are strong enough, we can take enough altitude to contemplate the Mont Blanc massif.
Why choose Matheysine instead of Saint-Hilaire?
+
To find the calm and freshness of a less urban site. Away from the stress of crowded take-offs, you enjoy the time needed for a serene briefing. The setting is ideal for a full day: after your tandem flight, enjoy the lake, a hike, or a restaurant with a view.
How to get there from Grenoble or Voiron?
+
Allow 40 minutes from Grenoble and about 55 minutes from Voiron via the Laffrey ramp (N85). Bus lines T80 and T81 also provide connections from Grenoble station.

SO, SHALL WE TAKE OFF
IN THE GRENOBLE BASIN?
