Thrills guaranteed !

What is speedriding? It's a sport that combines skiing and paragliding. With the help of a light sail, the aim is to go down the slope by mixing moments of sliding with phases of flight. 

Enjoy the pleasure of skiing, and with a glimpse of the glider, fly down another side of the mountain, that's speedriding! Take advantage of this moment to fill up on sensations. It's an opportunity to discover the slope from another angle.

The training spot is located on an easy and safe off-piste ground for learning. 

Our instructors, Manuel Bréchignac and Martin Rebord are our experts in this field and will guide you in the best possible way.

After years of ESF, this year we entrusted our children to Evolution 2 Tignes. What a pleasant surprise! Our sons aged 15 and 10 finally benefited from in-depth individualized technical advice! Their progress and their enjoyment of skiing have increased tenfold. The monos are also very attentive to the little ones.
Graham who supervises them during meals is very kind.
The speed riding activity is supervised by a quality professional.
Yet very demanding, I am very satisfied.

It's 100% French! Did you know?

Speed riding is a relatively new sport, which emerged in the early 2000s. It emerged from the combination of two well-established disciplines: skiing and paragliding. The idea was to combine the fast descent of snow-covered slopes with the ability to gain height using a small paraglider wing. 

The beginnings of speed riding are often attributed to pioneers with a passion for extreme sports, such as François Bon and Valéry Montant in France. They experimented with this unique fusion of skiing and paragliding, paving the way for a new aerial adventure. Over the years, the sport has grown in popularity, attracting enthusiasts from all over the world. 

Today, speed riding is practised in suitable mountain areas, offering thrill-seekers a unique way of hurtling down snow-covered slopes, the aim being to play with the mountain's relief interspersed with short phases of flight. The equipment has also evolved to meet the specific needs of this hybrid sport, with paragliders specially designed for speed riding.
