In a nutshell - overseas paragliding courses & holidays abroad, Beginner, EP, and CP completion courses through to Alpine Thermalling and XC in a warm, sunny and friendly environment.

Adventure Extreme, operated by Terry Stubbs, is one of the UK's leading BHPA Paragliding Schools, offers Alpine paragliding courses based in the sunny Alpes de Haute Provence - manned by British Senior Instructors with years of alpine paragliding experience. We are the longest established British overseas operator and the school, established in 1988, is highly respected both at home and in Europe as a centre of training excellence and for its unsurpassed safety record. Not all schools are equal and training with a locally (France) based school with local site knowledge and experience will allow you to get the most from your course or holiday in a safe, understanding environment.

Why us and when to visit

CFI Terry Stubbs has been flying paragliders since 1988, Terry together with SI Sandra pioneered Himalayan flying and have operated regular trips to the Everest region since 1990. Bear Grylls and Discovery Channel chose Adventure Extreme to provide the advanced Paragliding training to the team for their program "Mission Everest" - Terry was invited to join the team for the epic flight and the eventual success of the expedition was in no small part due to his local knowledge and expertise.

Adventure Extreme are leaders in the field and their thirst for new and interesting places to fly has led them to Mexico, Equador, Kyrgrzstan, Morocco, Norway, Tibet and South Africa as well as most of the European flying areas. Their flying and teaching experience is wide ranging and deep. Adventure Extreme probably qualify more CPs than any other school because of the normally excellent conditions found here in the sunny south of France. Several CPs have flown 30 km or more as their first ever XC from Laragne and more experienced pilots have flown over 100 km whilst on courses. You can too but if you dont go you'll never know.

Almost any time is good! We spend much of the year here so you can visit between end of January and October. Even in winter no other region in Europe can offer such great paragliding potential.
