Details
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. After meeting your pilot, we will drive you to the starting point on the Forclaz Pass. Any accompanying person will not be able to take the shuttle with you, but they can meet you when you land.
- Start & Flight:
Once you've been paired 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, where you can purchase your photos and videos if you would like, and then we will drive you back to our base to round off your experience.
- After Landing:
Take a moment to catch your breath and enjoy the facilities on site: an outdoor garden, ice creams and drinks for sale, and toilets. There are also restaurants nearby: La Guinguette du Bout du Lac, Le 4'47 and Douss'Art Pizza.Flight facts
