Where to go paragliding in Annecy?

- Col de la Forclaz: The vast majority of tandem flights depart from the Col de la Forclaz, at an altitude of 1250 metres, to the southeast of Lake Annecy and Doussard. The take-off hill is steep, as are the emotions. Your route will likely alter owing to weather conditions, but don't worry, you'll always be able to enjoy the breath-taking views of Lake Annecy, no matter which trip you take. You'll also be able to fly close to the Dents de Lanfon mountain range, the Tournette massif, and Mont Veyrier, which will all take your breath away.

When is the best time to do a paragliding jump in Annecy?

April to November provide the optimum aerological and meteorological conditions. When it comes to the ideal time of day to fly, it all depends on the sort of aircraft you take. You do, in fact, have several options:

• The standard or discovery flight: Ideal for a first flight, the discovery flight will take place in the morning when the weather is calmer and the wind is more steady. This is a flight that allows you to glide in peace for 10 - 20 minutes to Doussard, which is 800 metres below you.

• Thermal flight: Unlike the previous flight, this one will take place in the afternoon to take advantage of updrafts and gain height, extending the flight time by 20 to 30 minutes.

• Long-distance flight: This is a variety of thermal flights that allows you to stay in the air for more than an hour and a half.

• Acrobatic flying: For those seeking even more thrills, an acrobatic flight is an ideal option. Your instructor will demonstrate acrobatic skills that will provide you with incredible sensations in a gorgeous setting.

What should I carry with me to go paragliding?

For landing and take-off, make sure to wear athletic shoes. Bring comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing and a windproof jacket for all seasons because the air is cooler than it is on land. Don't forget your sunglasses and sunscreen for the summer.
