High Mountain flights
These flights will open to you another wonderful dimension.
Our team, consisting of mountain guides, will know how to make you share their passion of flight in high areas. It
is a sensation that we eagerly want to share with you.
These flights are also possible in tandem for non-autonomous pilots.
The high mountain flights are accessible by skilifts or by helicopters.
These flights will require you to be roped-up and to have high mountain equipment (harness and
crampons according to conditions), even if the access is relatively fast.
Les Grands-Montets : Two possibilities of takeoff according to the wind. The walk-in does not generally require
crampons, but you will be roped-up with a guide (15 mn of walking).
The most classic : western takeoff from the “ Pas de Chèvre” on Grands Montets glacier, at 3 100 m of altitude.
Magnificent views on the Mer de Glace and the massif of Mont-Blanc, the Grandes Jorasses, with a route
following the Aiguille Verte and Les Drus.
According to the state of the glacier, there could be the possibility of taking off towards the northeast, in the
direction of the glacier of Argentière, returning by the north Face of Les Grands-Montets to join Chamonix.
L'Aiguille du Midi : Two possibilities of takeoff at 3 700 m of altitude, at the feet of the Aiguille du Midi ridge,
according to the wind. You must be equipped with crampons and you will be roped-up to go down the ridge, very
ethereal according to its state, (beginning of the Midi-Plan route) until the takeoff (approximately 20 mn of walkin). In winter, the ridge is equipped with ropes, so it's a bit easier.
North takeoff, towards Chamonix : Flight in the direction of the Grands-Mulets and of the Jonction. Impressive
flying over the seracs of the Glacier des Bossons and of Taconnaz, or flight in the direction of the exit of the Mer
de Glace, following the impressive north faces of the Aiguilles de Chamonix.
South side, you will fly above the Grand Envers du Plan, by following the south face of the Aiguilles de
Chamonix, fly above the Requin hut, then the left side of the Mer de Glace.
Magnificent view of the Grandes Jorasses massif, the Dent du Géant, the Leschaux glacier, the Aiguille Verte,
Les Drus, ...
Col du Géant : South Takeoff at 3 300 m of altitude, accessible from the cable-car of Helbronner in Italy, 20 mn
walk-in, roped up, on glacier. Crampons are not always necessary.
Extraordinary flight along the south face of the Mont Blanc, view on the south face of the Grandes Jorasses and the
Noire de Peuterey. A flight of an exceptional dimension, only possible in conditions of weak south meteorological
wind. Landing in the Val Ferret or in the Val Veny.
Petit Combin : Takeoff possible in all directions at 3 600 m of altitude. Access by helicopter which drops you off at
the takeoff : Glacier area, so equipment is necessary (harness & high mountain shoes).
Exceptional view on the massif of the Mont-Rose and on the Tarentaise. This summit is just situated in front of the
mythical resort of Verbier. Landing in Le Châble.

Paralpinisme: Objective Mont-Blanc
Two day program
cycle 2 of the passport FFVL
Private instructor-high mountain guide
You are an autonomous pilot and wish a supervised ascent and assistance for the high mountain take off. Demanding
because it is necessary to ally a pilot's qualities to those of a climber, (supervision for one or two autonomous pilots
or an autonomous pilot and a tandem passenger). A guide can take two climbers maximum with him.
You are not a pilot but wish to experience your first tandem flight from the highest summit of Europe.
The ascent of Mont-Blanc (4810 m), the highest summit of Europe, can be undertaken by any person in good
physical condition. However it must not be trivialized, because due to the altitude and changing weather situations, it
can quickly become difficult.
The choice of the route will be taken by the guide according to the conditions of the ascent. Two possibilities:
Normal road:
1st Day: Bellevue (1850 m) by the cable-car taken in Les Houches. Ascent to the Nid d’Aigle (2372 m) by the
Tramway of Mont-Blanc. Refuge Tête Rousse (3167 m): 2 to 2 ½ hours walk-in, Refuge Aiguille du Goûter (3819
m) 2 to 3 hours walk-in.
2nd Day: From the refuge to the Dôme du Goûter (4304 m): 2 ½ hours walk-in. From the Dôme du Goûter to the
Refuge Vallot (4362 m): 1 hour. Continuation by the Arête des Bosses: 1 ½ to 2 hours wal-in, up to the summit.
Crossed by Les Trois Mont-Blanc:
1st Day: Up to the Aiguille du Midi (3842 m) by the cable-car, a short walk-in with crampons gets you to reach the
Refuge Cosmiques (3613 m), in approximately 1 hour.

2nd Day: Epaule du Mont Blanc du Tacul (4100 m), then Epaule du Mont-Maudit (4280 m), Col de La Brenva, and
summit of Mont Blanc (4807 m): 6 to 8 hours walk.
Walk-down in case of bad flying conditions: According to the conditions of snow coverage and the state of the
glaciers, by the Refuge Vallot / Col du Dôme / Refuge Aiguille du Goûter, or by Les Trois Mont-Blanc. In the
management of your tiredness, you always have to consider to walk down if the flight is not possible in security. Try
to keep some energy in reserve!

We strongly advise you to take a rescue parachute and a light harness with air bag, but this choice is left with the
pilot.

of the equipment. This is so you can safely climb yet still have enough energy left to fly, or to walk-down. Your bag
should not exceed 10 kg.
