      Excellent Experience
      Had a great experience with Oliver and Laetitia. Both Oliver and Laetitia were very professional. We felt 1000% safe flying with them. We both and a chance to manoeuvre ourselves with excellent guidance from our pilots while enjoying the view.

      Excellent experience !
      Absolutely fantastic experience. Instructors were so kind and friendly, definitely recommended. We really enjoyed beautiful scenery in Chamonix. There was no problem to meet and access to the flight, Very much organized ! Just only one regret is that SIM card data in GOPRO option were not working due to some format problem and cannot see pictures and videos. What a pity !

      A must do activity! Very friendly and professional crew.
      My wife and I enjoyed our experience with Laetitia and Olivier. They are really friendly people. They briefed us well before our flight and checked on us regularly during the activity. We had the option to complete a smooth ride to Chamonix or even spice it up with some acrobatics on the way. We chose the option to fil a video and take some pictures and they gave us the SD card right when we finished. We loved discussing with them on our way down, Donia and Olivier talked about our home country Lebanon and Laetitia and I talked about the program of our trip in France. They also gave us the lead to direct the parachute while monitoring us closely and explaining for us the mechanics behind it. In a couple of words, it was "above expectations"!

      Excellent and safe initiation to paragliding !
      The beginner's training offered by Kailash Adventure was a great experience. The team provided clear and competent explanation and advise and practice eventually occurred in a very safe environment and a joyful ambiance. Many thanks to Laetitia, Eric and Olivier for sharing their passion so vividly. I'm definitely hooked and will go on learning paragliding with Kailash Adventure. 🪂🪂🪂🪂

      Superb flight experience
      If you are looking for an amazing experience you defenitely need to book a flight here. Pro's: * Super friendly and experienced pilots. They really give their best to give you the best flight experience possible. They really take their time and don't rush back down. Don't hesitate when they ask you to do some tricks or fly the parapente yourself! * They offer a variaty of flights so you will defenitely find one that suits you. We did the discovery flight from Planpraz. From there you get amazing views over Chamonix and the Mont Blanc! * Very easy booking and good communication. There's parking opportunities next to the mountain lift. * Really good price-quality! Keep in mind you have to buy a one way ticket for the lift. If you want an amazing souvenir, take the gopro option for photos and video's (€30 and totally worth it! After the flight you get the SD card with the footage) Con's: nothing, everything was superb! Thank you, we had an awesome time! Gino & Janna

      I cannot thank Olivier enough for one of the most fantastic experiences of my life. He made me feel happy and confident and safe! I cannot tell you how much fun I had. It’s a total must! Can’t wait to watch my footage back. Thank you for the wonderful memories Olivier. Becky.

      Best first paragliding experience
      I booked with Kailash my first paragliding experience and it was perfect. I was a little scared before to do it, but Olivier was professional and I really enjoyed the experience. He is extremely qualified and made me feel safe during all the flight. At the end he let me "drove" and he did some trick, of course you do not have to have a weak stomach. I highly recommend his company! Ps: the view on the Mont Blanc range and on all peaks around is magical from up there!

    My sister did this the day before we did and we booked this activity based on her recommendation. She was
    taken high above the mountains and was in the air for over 40 minutes. She highly recommended it so we took her up on it and we booked it for ourselves. It was disappointing as we did not go above the mountains and we were only in the air for 20 minutes. It seemed like the instructors were trying to hurry and get through all the clients they had that day and it all felt rushed. It was also about $100 more for us when we did it versus when my sister went the day before.

    Awesome…..well organised and professional. Had an absolute blast on the 30min XL skirting the mountainsides, circling in the thermals, piloting it myself and some ‘roller coaster’ on the return. Absolutely nailed the landing (nothing to do with me of course!).

    Very professional because despite beautiful sunshine the instructors preferred to cancel for safety reasons with dangerous winds, offering a postponement or a refund. Excellent contact and very good advice. Impeccable organization

    I had a very nice experience with Laetitia who accompanied me to look at this beautiful landscape Mont Blanc, the city of Chamonix, the clouds,... I had the chance to meet her that day because it was not planned to do it at the time, she knew how to follow my availability and it went great!
    Thank you Laetitia, I still do not realize this beautiful experience after 6 days🤗😅

    My paragliding experience in Chamonix was nothing short of breathtaking! Soaring over the stunning alpine landscape, with Mont Blanc in the distance, was a dream come true. The views were absolutely spectacular, and I couldn’t believe how peaceful and exhilarating it felt to glide through the sky.

    The guides were exceptional—super friendly, professional, and went above and beyond to ensure my mum and I had an amazing time. Immediately, they made us feel safe and confident, explaining every step and adding a personal touch that made the experience even more memorable. I would definitely recommend this adventure!

    Amazing experience! It was cloudy the day we were scheduled to paraglide and they let us postpone our ride until another day free of charge, which was very nice and accommodating. We had Oliver and Francis as our pilots and both were extremely friendly and comforting before takeoff to ease our nerves. The takeoff and landing were both flawless and easy. Would definitely recommend and do this again if we visit Chamonix.

    An extraordinary experience! For our couples and our 2 teenagers! Thank you so much ! In addition to the breathtaking views of Mont Blanc de Chamonix and the Aiguille du Midi, we appreciated the personalities of our pilots. Alfonso and Laetitia: Friendly, interesting and interested! In addition, unlike other companies, no risks are taken. We had to wait a long time for a clearing while other impatient, more venal pilots launched into the clouds with their clients. Patience paid off! A flight comments with a few measured pirouettes! To do again with our last 2! Another positive point: payment by credit card possible

    Bonjour, Je suis navré de constater que votre expérience avec nous ne se soit pas bien passée, et que votre déception se manifeste par un avis négatif sur notre entreprise alors même que vous ne nous avez ni rencontré ni même participé à un de nos vols en biplace. Je suis d'autant plus déçu que la météo exécrable qui s'est abattue sur nous cette semaine nous a obligé à annuler tous nos vols... et comme vous avez pu le constater, nous vous avons intégralement remboursé la prestation!... Nous gagnons notre vie que si les baptêmes sont réalisés... ce qui logiquement devrait nous pousser à voler par tous les temps et à offrir des prestations de qualité discutable !... Un grand MERCI de souligner que chez nous: "safety first" et que malgré le fait que vous aillez pu voir des concurrents voler ou des membres de l'équipe de france d'accrobatie malgré les conditions inadaptées, nous avons pris le pari qu'au regard du prix d'un baptême doit correspondre une prestation de qualité... Au plaisir de vous revoir dans de meilleures conditions....

    This was so much fun! I was in Chamonix for a week skiing and kept seeing people paragliding off the mountains. I made a last minute decision to try it and called them up in the morning and was able to book for that afternoon. Oliver, who took my booking and was my paragliding pilot was super friendly and professional. The ride was fun and the views spectacular.

    Highly recommend!

    I had an amazing experience with Eric. Such a friendly guide and paragliding was amazing. I will recommend this company to others also. I will go with the same company if I visit that place again.

    Also, they are trustworthy. I purchased the video from them but at that time I did not have money but Eric trusted me. He gave me the sim card and later I had left the money at the hotel counter.

    *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
