Annecy, a mythical paragliding area

Here you'll have the chance to take your first paragliding flight in Doussard, on the shores of Lake Annecy. During your flight, you'll have the chance to admire the turquoise waters of the lake and the surrounding mountains. A memorable experience guaranteed!

Course of the flight :

• Meet at the airfield in Doussard.
• You'll be welcomed by Pascal's team, who'll give you a briefing and all the information you need for a safe flight!
• You'll then take off from the Col de la Forclaz above Lake Annecy, for a flight lasting between 8 and 45 minutes, depending on the option you choose.
• The view of Lake Annecy and the mountains as far as the eye can see will amaze you, and you won't want to leave!
• After the flight, it's time for a gentle landing, to recover from the emotions and debrief the experience.

Several options are available:

• Morning paragliding flight (10-12mins): 850m vertical drop, zen atmosphere in stable aerology.
• Panoramic ascent paragliding flight (15-20 mins): 850m vertical drop, unforgettable panorama as you soar higher thanks to thermals.
• Prestige paragliding flight (20-25 mins): admire Lake Annecy and the vertical face of La Tournette. The more adventurous can ask the instructor for a little aerobatics for a few minutes of thrills and spills!
• Optimum paragliding flight (30-50 mins): 1200 to 2000m altitude difference : you'll enjoy a breathtaking view of the Aravis mountain range and Mont-Blanc. You can also fly over the "Petit Lac" and the Château de Duingt from the skies.
• Majestic paragliding flight (1h-1h15): This one-hour flight lets you take full advantage of the surrounding mountains and, of course, the lake! We recommend this flight for people who have already flown, and who want to see more! And of course the full-sensations descent!
• Baptism paragliding for children (8-12 mins): ideal for a child's first flight. Parents can accompany the child on another two-seater paraglider, provided they weigh no more than 70kg.

Paragliding is an ideal activity to experience or to give as a gift on a special occasion such as a birthday, Mother's Day, Father's Day or Christmas! If you're organizing an EVG or EVJF in Annecy, this is an exceptional adventure to organize for future brides and grooms.
