Description

One of the largest and most famous mountains in the Swiss Alps, the Grand Combin peak (4,314m) is a sight to behold. However, on this incredible trip, you will get to do so much more than just view this mountain. On this trip, you will get to take a scenic helicopter flight to a specific part of it. And after that, you will get to paraglide down!

For 40 to 100 minutes, you will get to enjoy the unmatched thrill that comes with riding in a helicopter and paragliding. And when you accompany that with the beauty of the fantastic Grand Combin peak, you are in for an adventure you will never forget.

Because it only takes a few hours, this trip can be the perfect addition to your vacation in the Alps. Furthermore, if you are not experienced enough to paraglide on your own, there is also the option to enjoy this trip in a tandem flight.

Filled with ice capped peaks, beautiful valleys and enormous glaciers, the Swiss Alps are a paradise for those who enjoy nature at its most picturesque. And on this trip, you will get to see them  from the same vantage point as a majestic bird.

To experience the thrill of this trip, all you have to do is send me a request. I look forward to guiding you.

You can also enjoy another version of this trip that involves a flight from the Pigne d’Arolla peak.

I graduated from the l'école hôtelière de Lausanne in 1993 and then began my mountain guide training. Well travelled I have guided through the mountains of the Andes, the Himalayas, Alaska, Turkey and Greenland. I'm also a Swiss Snow Sports graduate and a dual paragliding pilot.

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.
