Pyrenees Speedtandem: Ski & Fly

Imagine the crisp mountain air, the snow-dusted peaks of the Pyrenees stretching beneath you, and the exhilarating sensation of gliding through the sky. This is speedtandem, a unique paragliding experience that merges the thrill of flight with the grace of skiing. You'll launch from a snowy slope, tethered to an experienced instructor, and soar for about 8 minutes, feeling the wind on your face as the world unfolds below. The entire activity, including preparations, takes around 45 minutes. While the instructor manages all the paragliding equipment, you'll need to bring your own ski gear and be comfortable skiing on blue runs. It's an authentic way to connect with the winter landscape, offering a perspective few ever witness. As Jon Krakauer might note, it's a precise dance between human skill and natural forces, a moment of pure, unadulterated freedom.
