    • Waggas School offers paragliding first flights over the Dune du Pilat.

      Established for more than 20 years in the Bassin d'Arcachon, Waggas School invites you to discover paragliding accompanied by a state-certified instructor.
      Alone or in a group, Waggas School welcomes you from March to the end of October. This activity is aimed at everyone, from 6 to 106 years old. The take-off and landing phases are very gentle and are done on the spot thanks to the coastal breezes which provide regular wind conditions.

      There are two types of flight:

      • The "Discovery" flight, available in 10 minutes or 20 minutes, is a very calm formula for those who wish to live a relaxing experience.
      You can enjoy a unique panorama with the gentle flight of Dune.
      • The "Waggas" flight, available in 10 minutes or 20 minutes, a more dynamic formula, ideal for thrill seekers.
      This flight is a mixture of calm flight phases spiced up with dynamic maneuvers and passages close to the ground. This is THE local specialty. This formula is suitable for all audiences.

    Definitely the best spot to fly around the dune of Pyla. The view was amazing and the staff very nice. I flied during 20 min, love the experience and the discussion with the fly master. Thanks!

    I had Powered Paragliding experience but wanted to learn to fly without a motor. I enjoyed my time with the two instructors but we only worked on ground handling the wing... which I did not need. However, their ground handling instruction was very good. There were a few opportunities to fly but we were held back. The only discussion about actually flying took place only when I asked at the end of the course. Also I was told I could rent equipment there, but it turned out only during the time when taking the class - I could not fly after the class when the conditions were perfect because I had no equipment. I chose to not buy a wing before taking the class thinking it would be better to use different wing sizes to know what I liked best. Ensure you have access to a wing at all times because if the wind is right you'll be unhappy not being able to fly.
