Ascending winds will be your best friend for this tandem paragliding flight up to 2 times longer than a normal flight! Made for everyone, this flight is the best way to discover paragliding. You will be able to gain height from your takeoff point, and thanks to your state-certified pilot who will expertly catch the hot winds rising from the ground to fly higher. The upshot: a breathtaking view over the Annecy region!
Tour programme- Meeting & Preparation:We will meet you at our paragliding base
15 minutes before the booked time (the shuttle leaves 15 minutes before your booking time) to show you your equipment and get to know each other. Please note that
there is no parking space on site, but you can refer to the map in the photos for suggested car parks. After meeting your pilot, we will drive you to the starting point on the Forclaz Pass. Any accompanying person is welcome to wait at the bottom station.
- Start & Flight: Once attached to the wing together with your instructor, you will only need to take a few steps to take off, carried by the updrafts. After the 25 min (approx.) descent, you will land gently on the landing zone, and we will then drive you back to our location to look at your photos!
- After Landing:Take your time to get over your emotions and enjoy the facilities at your disposal: indoor garden, handmade ice creams and drinks for sale, toilets. There are also restaurants nearby: we recommend Bob's Pizza a few steps away or L'Auberge du Boucanier, near the lake.
