Annecy remains one of the world's leading paragliding spots. The aerology is particularly favourable over Lake Annecy, with generally light winds and abundant thermals, making it an ideal place to practice paragliding in Haute-Savoie!

Debrief your first sensations with your instructor before setting off on the hunt for thrills!

Depending on the day's schedule and the weather, you'll take your place on the take-off path before taking off on a paragliding flight near Annecy and its lake. You'll have the chance to admire the mountainous landscapes of Haute-Savoie, with the Dents de Lanfon, La Tournette and Le Semnoz rising up around Lake Annecy.
