Whether you are a passenger on a first flight or a student on our courses, we try to answer your questions!
Answers to your questions
Tandem flights
How has Flyeo adapted to COVID restrictions? Our barrier actions.
Our paragliding equipment, such as helmets and harnesses, are disinfected after a flight.
Hydroalcoholic gel is available at the shop reception.
Why Flyeo for your tandem flight?
Flyeo pilots are both instructors and tandem pilots, which gives them the knowledge and attitude which will match your expectations.
We are here to listen to you and we will know how to relax and reassure you before the flight. Once you take off, it’s all about happiness!
- A flight certificate signed by your instructor is delivered to you on landing.
- Take the controls and try to move the paraglider!
In addition, at the Flyeo shop you can find all the outdoor equipment you could possibly need. Our chill area is open to all and we have a refreshing surprise in store for you after the flight!
Do I have to sign anything before my flight?
Unlike skydiving, we do not make you sign a disclaimer before your first paragliding experience. In fact, all our instructors are state-licensed, so you are already covered by their civil liability insurance as well as the insurance of our school Flyeo.
What are our cancellation policies?
Cancellation by Flyeo:
Paragliding is a free flight activity, so we are dependent on the weather. It is possible that the flight will be postponed or cancelled depending on the forecasted conditions.
In this case, we will call the passenger to find an agreement to move the flight. In this case, the deposit will be refunded.
Flyeo reserves the right to cancel the flight up to the last moment in case of force majeure, beyond our control and for safety reasons by decision of a member of staff.
Cancellation by the passenger:
All cancellations by the customer must be notified in advance in writing or by telephone:
In case of cancellation more than 7 working days before the scheduled date of the service, the deposit will be returned with a deduction of 5 euros for administration costs.
Between 7 and 3 working days before the date, 50% of the deposit will be retained.
Less than 3 working days before the date, 100% of the deposit will be retained.
Less than 24 hours and the full amount of the flight will be due and payable.

How does my first paragliding experience work?
Once you have booked your flight on our website, by email or by phone, we will propose a date and time adapted to your flight.
Meet us 15 minutes before the scheduled time, then leave by shuttle bus with your instructor in the direction of the Col de la Forclaz, in the commune of Montmin.
Flying over the mountains, the lake, strong sensations on demand, in short an exceptional adventure awaits you!
The official landing area of Doussard is right next to our school.
In July / August: Parking at the Doussard landing area, next to the multipurpose hall (Route de la Plaine – 74210 Doussard).
Spring / Autumn: parking at our place, Flyeo at 400 Route du Pont Monnet – 74210 Doussard, almost opposite to the landing area!
Duration of the rotation: 1 hour (journey, preparation and flight), except for the Prestige Tandem 1h30
Bring sunglasses, windbreaker, closed shoes and your smile!
Can I paraglide with vertigo?
Of course! In paragliding, vertigo does not exist!
We have even written an article to explain this phenomenon that affects many people.
Paragliding courses
Why train with Flyeo?
Flyeo instructors are both instructors and tandem pilots, this gives them the knowledge and attitude to exceed your expectations.
All our instructors are excellent pilots who train very regularly (you might see them in action training, while you are training).
We also have an excellent shop at Flyeo with all the equipment a pilot could need.
FLYEO STUDENT DISCOUNT: RECEIVE A 15% DISCOUNT ON PARAGLIDERS, HARNESSES AND RESERVES DURING YOUR COURSE (non combinable offer: Best discount available for the client will be applied).
How can I get my FFVL license?
We created a page dedicated to that just for you 😉
What happens when the weather is bad?
Generally, we advise you the day before the first day of training the feasibility of it.
You will be notified by email or phone at that time.
If however despite our precautions a day is not “flyable”, we will offer ground handling sessions or theoretical courses according to your experience. This day will be charged for.
What equipment do I need to bring to Flyeo?
We lend all the equiptment during the initiation and advancedcourses (wing, harness, reserve, helmet, radio).
For other courses, you must come with your usual equipment. However, if some of your equipment is defective, we will be able to rent replacement equipment to you (10€/day).
What types of reserve parachutes do you accept?
We accept all types of reserve parachutes and all possible assemblies, as long as we feel it is safe!
So you can come with your round reserve, square reserve, rogallo or BASE rig if your equipment is in good condition and you know how to use it.
What if there is no more availability for a course?
If there is no more availability for your desired course date, join our WhatsApp group dedicated to last minute cancellations and bookings!

We will send a message on the group if a place becomes available or if there is still room: first come, first served!
