Speed Skiing
Speed riding consists of skiing and paragliding the length of a
slope wearing skis strapped to a small paraglider (6-10m_). The
aim is not to fly but to play with the mountain side like a skier
and to descend the slope quickly combining skiing and flying. This
sport is open to everyone with good off-piste skiing ability and
will require a medical certificate certifying their aptitude to
practice hanggliding. Training lasts a full day either in group
or private lessons.
