Speed Riding in the Pyrenees: the perfect fusion between skiing and flying
Speed riding in the Pyrenees is one of the most exhilarating experiences you can have in the snow. This alpine sport combines two spectacular disciplines: alpine skiing and paragliding. With the help of a small wing, skiers descend snowy slopes at high speed, alternating between gliding on the snow and literally flying above it.
It's one of the most innovative extreme winter sports , perfect for those seeking adventure in the snow and new sensations. Speed riding allows you to enjoy the mountains in a different way, playing with gravity and speed in a stunning natural environment. The feeling of freedom experienced while alternating turns on the snow with short, skimming flights over the slopes is simply unforgettable.
As it is a demanding activity, it is intended for people with skiing experience. It is recommended to have at least an intermediate or advanced level of alpine skiing before starting. Furthermore, it is essential to always practice with qualified instructors, as this type of skiing requires technique, control, and a strong commitment to mountain safety.
In Aragon, speed riding has a pioneering location: the Cerler ski resort , part of the Aramón group. There, guided descents and training courses are offered for those who wish to delve into this exciting sport, in a unique setting surrounded by the highest peaks of the Pyrenees.
