AKENEFLY,
is a professional paragliding school located in the heart of the Oisans region, in Alpe d’Huez.
Our mission: to share the magic of free flight with you in a magnificent setting, in complete safety.
A team of passionate instructors
Our state-certified instructors have been flying for many years. They will guide you step by step, whether you are a beginner or simply curious to discover a new perspective on the mountains.
🪂 Tandem flights – Summer & Winter
Whether on skis in winter or from the alpine pastures in summer, AKENEFLY offers tandem flights accessible to everyone: children, adults, those who prefer a more contemplative experience, or thrill-seekers. No piloting experience is necessary.
Training…
For those who want to go further, we offer introductory and advanced courses. Our teaching method is progressive, tailored to each individual, with one clear objective: the pursuit of ENJOYMENT.
Our philosophy
At AKENEFLY, we don’t just take people flying.
We share a passion. We open a door to freedom.
Every flight is unique: a suspended moment between sky and mountain.
Why AKENEFLY?
The name AKENEFLY comes from the word “achene,” which refers to a small, dry fruit borne by certain plants, such as the dandelion.
The achene is light, it is carried by the wind… just like us when we fly paragliders.
This symbol perfectly reflects our philosophy:
Lightness: gaining altitude, letting ourselves be carried by the breath of the wind, experiencing a simple and pure moment.
Freedom: nothing is fixed, everything is in motion. In the sky, there are no more constraints, only the present moment.
Naturalness: flying in harmony with the elements, respecting the mountain and the environment.
At AKENEFLY, we believe that flying is not about “achieving a feat,” it’s about rediscovering that instinctive feeling: that of letting go, gliding through the air, total freedom.
Like the achene that takes flight and discovers the world, we accompany you to experience a unique moment, carried by the wind and wonder.
