Escape the crowds as you experience the iconic mountain of Aiguille du Midi from the air during this beginner friendly, half-day paragliding trip!
Aiguille du Midi is a well known peak of the Mont Blanc massif that is especially famous for being easily accessible by cable car. Riding the cable car starting from Chamonix, you can reach the summit in under 30 minutes. At 3,842m, standing on the summit of Aiguille du Midi will give you an impressive panoramic vista of the famous glaciers and peaks that surround Chamonix.
While most adventurers explore Aiguille du Midi on foot or ski, during this adventure you will have an incredible opportunity to see the awe-inspiring landscapes of the Vallée Blanche from a whole new perspective. We will ascend by cable car, then use crampons and a harness to make a slight descent of the ridge to our launch site. Once we take to the air, you will feel amazed as you soar among the massive Alps from your seat in the paraglider. Our flight will take us among the many magical snow capped peaks around the Chamonix valley. While our exact route will depend on the wind conditions, we have the option to explore the northern side of the mountains, or fly toward the sunny southern side. Regardless of the route, you will come away from the experience feeling inspired by the grandeur of the mountains.
Book this trip now for an unforgettable tandem paraglide descent of Aiguille du Midi! You will soar among the legendary mountains of the Alps as you enjoy the thrilling ride and the awe-inspiring view.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
