Things to Do in Chamonix in May

Paragliding Tandem Flight over the Alps in Chamonix has a sudden, silent transition from the valley floor into the immense bowl of the mountains. You feel the canopy catch the thermal rising from a sun-warmed meadow, then hear only the wind in the lines as the patchwork of forests, chocolate-box chalets, and milky glacial rivers drops away beneath your feet. The pilot steers toward the granite spires of the Aiguilles Rouges, where you can see the lingering snowfields glowing in the high-altitude light.
