This year, the "Pégase Air Samoens" paragliding school invites you to fly with your skis on!
Speed riding is a new sport that combines paragliding and skiing. A great way to discover the thrills of taking off from the pistes. The skier uses a small paragliding sail (8 to 14 m2) to steer as he hurtles down the ravines at speeds of up to 70 kph. For the brave-hearted, jumps over rocky precipices will be an unforgettable experience. Designed for sports lovers, speed riding is set to become the star attraction this winter. A new Alpine sport, offering new thrills and spills. Speed riding is a special form of paragliding. The goal is not to take off for long, but to use the geographical features, just like a skier, in order to descend both on the snow and in the air.
