Prestige Paragliding in Annecy
A long flight from the Col de la Forclaz, acrobatics if you fancy them, and your memories captured in photos and video.
Description
Want the most complete flight, with a memory you can relive again and again? The paragliding flight with photos and video from Lyon brings together everything you could hope for from an exceptional first flight: over 30 minutes of tandem flying above Lake Annecy, with photos and video of your flight included.
Take-off is from the Col de la Forclaz, a renowned free-flight spot, about 1 hour 30 minutes from Lyon. Beneath your feet, Lake Annecy and its mountains create a setting you won’t forget in a hurry.
This flight only takes place in the afternoon, when the warm air currents are strong enough to gain height and stay airborne for a long time. More contemplative or more thrill-seeking? Acrobatics are optional: it’s up to you to decide how intense your flight will be.
Your qualified instructor takes care of the piloting, from take-off to landing, and captures the best moments of the flight. At the end, you leave with your photos and video.
Available from €160, the Prestige flight is a premium gift idea for a birthday, a proposal or a special occasion. To experience yourself or to give to those with a thirst for discovery.
The Prestige flight only takes place in the afternoon, as it needs warm air currents to last more than 30 minutes. Bring sturdy closed-toe shoes, a windbreaker, a pair of sunglasses and clothing suited to the weather.
