Your flight over Lake Annecy

You reach the meeting place where the state-certified instructor is waiting for you. After a warm welcome, you discover the paraglider, an aircraft derived from the parachute, equipped with a large sail to glide in the air without the help of an engine. It consists of a two-seater harness. Your program:

  • You follow a full briefing where you review the safety, the operation of the paraglider and the flight route.
  • Return of the equipment consisting of the harness and helmet, then you settle in the harness for takeoff. After a few strides your feet move away from the ground and here you are in the air.
  • This is the beginning of your first flight, you discover the colors of Lake Annecy, its banks and the surrounding villages. You can enjoy panoramic mountain views.
  • The aerial ride ends, it's time to leave your little cloud: the pilot begins the descent and you land.
