Description

A trip that suits the most adventurous, this heli paragliding adventure takes place on the Pigne d’Arolla mountain (3,796m) in the Swiss Alps.

This unforgettable trip lasts from 40 to 100 minutes, and involves a helicopter ride, paragliding and a gorgeous peak. To put that into perspective, you will get to experience all of that in less time than it takes to finish watching a typical movie!

From Verbier, you will enjoy an amazing helicopter ride that will enable you to see the glorious peaks of the Alps. After that, you will reach the Pigne D’Arolla mountain. This peak is definitely one of the finest mountains in the incredible mountain range. And on this trip you will get to see it up close. Afterwards, you will then get to get into a paraglide from the peak. Thus enabling you to get even more spectacular views of the peaks, valley and glaciers spread throughout the Alps.

There is so much to do and see in the Swiss Alps. And people usually spend days, even weeks, trying to do and see it all. And while you won’t necessarily get to do it all in this short trip, you will certainly get to see more than most.

So send me a request and come to Verbier. I look forward to providing you with a safe, thrilling, spectacular adventure.

I also offer a tandem paragliding trip in Verbier as well.

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.
