This was my 6th year in a row that I have stopped with Verbier Summits for a weeks guided paragliding holiday. Access from Geneva airport is very easy, just hop on a train at the airport and two & half hours later you arrive at Le Chable station which is only 5 minutes walk from the apartments. The accommodation is first class, very comfortable with a restaurant / bar on the ground floor, again the food is excellent. Stu and Mike run a very slick operation, top class instructors / guides, very safe and relaxed fun atmosphere, suitable for all levels of pilots. The top take off from Ruinettes (2200m) is a large grassy easy slope, with a spectacular view. It is free from crowds and you can take off from where you set up. First take offs start just after 9:00am with a silky smooth 20 minute 1300m top to bottom.The landing field is in a flat wide valley surrounded by open pasture There is usually an option of up to 4 flights a day so even if your thermalling is not quite up to scratch there is still plenty of action / opportunity. For the more experienced pilot you can find some of the most spectacular flying in the alps up around the snow fields / glaciers of the 4000+m peaks with views of the Matterhorn & Mont Blanc. I have never had less than 4 days flying out of 6 and some years 6 out of 6 which is a pretty good for the Alps (I might just be very lucky). This place is a hidden gem.
