About Verbier Summits
Verbier Summits is the resort's most established paragliding school, run by pilots with over thirty years of professional flying experience in the Swiss Alps. Operating from a booking office at Les Ruinettes — the mid-station of the Médran cable car — they offer an unbeatable launch point high above the valley, with panoramic views stretching from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn on clear days.
Their core offering is tandem paragliding flights lasting 20 to 35 minutes, available in both winter and summer. For those looking to go deeper, Verbier Summits runs BHPA-recognised Elementary Pilot and Club Pilot courses, multi-day coaching holidays, and heli-paragliding experiences that combine a helicopter ascent to peaks like Petit Combin with a breathtaking glide back over glaciers and crevasses. In-flight photos and video packages are available for every tandem flight.
What sets Verbier Summits apart is the combination of pedigree and location — launching from 2,200 metres guarantees long, thermic flights with spectacular alpine scenery, and the team's impeccable safety record reflects their three decades of accumulated expertise. Whether you're a nervous first-timer or a licensed pilot seeking coaching in complex alpine airspace, Verbier Summits is the gold standard.
