Paragliding above the Louron valley

Format

In the Louron valley, mountain slopes open towards Lac de Génos–Loudenvielle and a broad landing area. Local tourism describes several launch sites between Val Louron and Peyragudes, making site selection part of the pilot’s work. Parapente Vol Louron offers tandems ranging from an introduction to flights using rising air. The passenger has an active role, following instructions during the launch run and landing. Explain the experience you want and leave room for a changed plan. Staying in the valley simplifies meeting arrangements and gives the rest of the day an unhurried rhythm.

Experience

You need to walk and run a few steps on a slope; the pilot explains the actions. Prior flights are not required.

Before your trip

• Provide age and weight; they influence suitable timing and flight choice.
• Confirm meeting and launch arrangements instead of heading directly to a slope.
• Bring closed footwear and a warm layer; discuss motion sickness and preferred intensity.
