For those with great courage, Paragliding (or Parapente in French) is an activity that has been growing in popularity in the French Alps, in both the Summer and Winter season. In the Summer especially, when there is less risk of landing on someone, the skies in the area are dotted with colourful canopies drifting and spinning on the updrafts.
You can learn to paraglide in both Megève and Praz-sur-Arly, taking off from the Rochbrune and Ban Rouge peaks respectively.
