Natural Wake Park’s Grand Téléski brings water sports excitement to Paray-sous-Briailles. Perfect for all levels, its extensive cable course and expert coaching make it a regional standout.
Natural Wake Park is a wake sports facility located in Paray-sous-Briailles, Auvergne‑Rhône‑Alpes, France. The park operates two distinct cable experiences: Petit Téléski and Grand Téléski.
Petit Téléski uses Le bi-poulies, a two‑pylon ski lift designed for rapid progression in wakeboarding. Petit Téléski sessions run for 30 minutes and include personalized coaching delivered via earpiece to help riders learn to navigate and turn on the board. Petit Téléski is positioned as an ideal option for beginners and for riders who want to progress quickly.
Grand Téléski offers a full‑size cable system with a 660 m course and 13 evolving modules that create varied riding lines and obstacles. Grand Téléski supports multiple disciplines: kneeboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding, and foil. A personalized coaching option is available for the Grand Téléski course. Together, the two systems provide targeted experiences: a short, instructor‑guided bi‑poulies session for learning fundamentals, and a longer, full‑length cable experience with modular features for practice and technical progression.
Natural Wake Park's published information highlights the specific equipment and format of each trip, the coaching options, and the available riding disciplines. Visitors receive trip options that specify session length, lift type, course length, module count, and coaching availability to match skill level and session goals.
The park describes the Grand Téléski as suitable for riders 'from beginners to seasoned pros' and emphasizes operation in a safe environment. The 13 evolving modules on the 660 m course allow progressive challenge while remaining accessible. Petit Téléski specifically targets rapid progression for new wakeboarders and coaching.
