Stéphane will take you on a tandem paragliding flight over Lake Annecy. Enjoy the gentle, pleasant air currents as you glide through this postcard-perfect setting. Lake Annecy is one of the most beautiful spots for paragliding.

Annecy: A Unique Spot for Paragliding

The Haute-Savoie region and its mountains overlooking the lake will leave you in awe during this flight. You’ll be accompanied by a professional paragliding school affiliated with the French Free Flight Federation.

Hello we did not fly because of the weather.

Impressive activity, but a big disappointment from the very first exchanges. I booked a time slot, but it was only after booking, in the confirmation message, that we learned that we had to arrive 30 minutes early. No clear mention in the description of the activity, which is a real lack of professionalism. We were coming from far away, with a bus every two hours, which made timing complicated. We explained the situation to the staff, but they remained closed and unsympathetic, insisting that we would not be reimbursed. The only solution we were offered was to take an Uber at over €50, which we had to accept, adding stress and cost to our day. I was very disappointed that this was the tone and attitude of our initial exchanges, especially for an activity that we were very much looking forward to. Our beautiful vacation experience was largely spoiled by this lack of listening and organization. On arrival, we were told that this kind of problem happens regularly, which clearly shows that the problem lies with them and not with the customers. We might as well point out the actual arrival times instead of blaming the customers. During the activity, the instructors were fortunately friendly and professional, which made up for the experience a little. On the other hand, a big black mark: it's up to us, the customers, to hold the GoPro for almost the entire flight. Other companies have a much more suitable mounting system.
