Skiing + flying, turbo version
Speed Riding
Speed riding is skiing and paragliding in the same run: a small, fast wing, turns carved just above the snow, a few hops over the slopes… and a serious dose of adrenaline. In tandem with your instructor, you get a taste of the liveliest discipline in the mountains.
Speed riding in a nutshell
Forget the long, peaceful flight over the valley: speed riding keeps you close to the terrain. The wing, smaller and faster than a normal paraglider, lets you switch between skiing and flying as you follow the contours of the mountain.
You ride as a duo with your instructor, who flies the wing. You ski, take off together, and enjoy a view very few skiers ever get: the slope, seen from above, at full speed.
The offer includes two flights: the first to discover the sensations, the second to make the most of them.

How does it work?
Booking your slot
Call us or send a request: together we find a time that suits the weather and snow conditions. The meeting point in Val d'Isère is confirmed when you book.
Briefing
Your instructor explains how speed riding works, the position to hold and how the run goes. We check the kit together.
First flight
A few metres of skiing, the wing inflates, and you're off: ski turns, little take-offs, and the slope rushing past beneath your ski tips.
Second flight
Now you know what to expect, let's go again! The second flight is the one you enjoy to the full.
