Summary:
My wife and I had the experience of our lives. It was the highlight of our trip and we will certainly remember this fondly. Very professionally run and both Eric and Olivier are very skilled. They had a great sense of humor and kept checking in on us all along the flight. This gave us memories of a lifetime. Highly recommended!

Summary:
After several years in the mountains and not having booked an introductory flight, Chamonix felt as the place to do it! When Googling for the right party I came across Kaïlash Parapente and it turned out to be the perfect choice. Olivier was a welcoming and ‘down to earth’ pilot, convincing me that his 15k flights would provide us a safe, acrobatic and memorable flight. And it turned out to be the case! Enjoyed his ambition to win by becoming the paraglider that reached the highest altitude. Had the opportunity to steer myself and we did some acrobatics. Definitely recommend this party. Merci Olivier!
