Speed Riding School

Learn to fly with the speed riding school in Les Arcs

Location
Arc 1950

Les Arcs is the perfect spot to learn and practice speed riding. This company is recognised by the French free flight federation. 

All their instructors speak both French and English.

Speed riding is not as extreme as you might think! The training slopes are smooth without any obstacles and learning and having fun with speed riding comes very fast as long as you are a competent skier; you need to be able to ski red slopes with confidence in any type of snow. There is no need to have any experience of paragliding as the canopies we use are very simple and easy to control!

They provide different kinds of lessons, from a simple discovery course to the most incredible trips for more advanced pilots. Group courses are limited to 5 students for one instructor, they also provide personalised training sessions for a made-to-measure instruction.

We can also organise trips for advanced pilots who want to experience more on their holiday in Les Arcs. Contact us to find out more about helicopter drops, excursions over the Italian border and to other French resorts, video footage of your experience and more.

To book a session or a course, just contact us by email below telling us what kind of formula you want to do, how many people are interested and when you want to come. We look forward to hearing from you!
