Best times to fly to La Clusaz: summer☀️ vs winter❄️

La Clusaz offers an exceptional setting to discover paragliding. Whether you are a thrill seeker or simply curious to explore the Alpine landscapes from the air, this activity can be practiced in both summer and winter. But what are the differences between flying in these two seasons?

Flying in summer☀️:

Summer is a popular season for paragliding enthusiasts, and for good reason!

- Ideal thermal conditions: In summer, thermal currents are more present thanks to the sun heating the mountain slopes. These conditions allow paragliders to enjoy longer flights and better explore the surroundings, but add turbulence to the flight.

- Often mild weather: Summer days are generally long and sunny, offering extended flight windows.

Flying in winter❄️:

Paragliding in winter, although less common, offers a completely different and equally magical perspective.

- A breathtaking view: In winter, the landscape transforms into a pristine white carpet. Flying over snow-capped peaks and ski slopes. It is an incomparable experience, especially on a clear day, when the mountains sparkle under the winter sun.

- New sensations: The cold winter air adds a special dimension to the flight. Well equipped (ski jacket, gloves, helmet, mask/goggles), you will be able to fully enjoy this adventure. Winter flights are often calmer, because the thermal conditions are reduced, offering a gentle and peaceful aerial ride.

- An unusual landing: In winter, you take off and land directly on the snow. This adds a fun and original touch to the experience, ideal for winter sports enthusiasts looking for new skiing sensations.
