Explanation:

The phrase "a sport that originated in the French Alps" is a nonrestrictive appositive—it provides extra, non-essential information about paragliding (we already know what paragliding is, so this detail is supplementary). Nonrestrictive appositives require commas to set them apart from the main clause.
