Prices typically range from 80-120 EUR. Lessons and multi-day courses are also available. Departure points vary depending on wind conditions, often from Samoëns 1600 or other accessible mountain sites. Available primarily during spring, summer, and autumn, with some limited winter tandem flights on clear days.
