  • Plan D'aiguille and Aiguille Du Midi
    Paragliding/Parapente PLAN DE L’AIGUILLE & AIGUILLE DU MIDI Plan de l’Aiguille -110€ per person (1300m vertical descent) Aiguille du Midi – 280€ per person (2550m vertical descent) Plan de l’Aiguille The half way stage of the Aiguille du Midi lift. A superb site allowing beautiful flights towards the Bossons glacier, nestling under the high peaks of Mont Blanc and offering a rugged “natural” ambiance to the flight. After a three minute walk down from the cable car station you launch just above the tree line from a grassy hillside at 2300m and usually traverse towards Europe’s longest icefall: the Bossons glacier, flying above small mountain torrents and often spotting wild deer in the forest below. The jagged seracs of the glacier and the imposing peaks of the Mt Blanc massif create a dramatic vista. The latter part of the flight is over the pine forest and then overflying the town centre of Chamonix before landing at Bois du Bouchet just behind the lake of the sports centre. In winter months, in contrast to Planpraz the snow is never packed down for us by the piste machines because there are none – this makes for a superb natural mountain ambiance but it can be very hard to run so as to launch in the deep snow. It is for this reason that you cannot fly very often from Plan de l’Aiguille in the winter. The summer months are perfect but we are only authorized to fly here outside of July and August when the mountain rescue helicopter require this area for rescuing climbers from Mt Blanc and surrounds.
