Description

The tandem paragliding flight takes place above Lake Annecy and offers a breathtaking view over the turquoise waters of the lake, the lakeshore villages and the surrounding Alpine summits. Settled in your harness facing the landscape, accompanied by your state-licensed pilot, you glide through the air in complete safety and total confidence — the pilot manages the entire flight, you simply enjoy the ride. A unique, effortless and deeply moving experience that every participant lives in their own way and talks about for a long time. Rotations are organised so that every member of your group gets their flight.

How the activity works

1

Equipment & Briefing

Arrival at the take-off site. Your Takamaka pilot kits you out with your harness and explains the few essential instructions — take-off position, flight posture, landing. Within minutes, you’re ready to fly.
2

Take-off

A few running steps and you’re airborne — the most surprising and gentlest sensation of the whole activity. The ground falls away, Lake Annecy appears in all its splendour below and the Alpine summits unfold on the horizon. A suspended, timeless moment.
3

The Flight

15 to 30 minutes of flight above Lake Annecy — turquoise waters, lakeshore villages and Alpine panoramas as far as the eye can see. Your pilot guides you through the air currents and shares their knowledge of the territory. Silence, freedom and wonder — an experience that words struggle to describe and the body remembers for a long time.
4

Landing

A smooth landing. Touching down marks the beginning of the irrepressible smile that stays with every participant after their first flight. A moment of sharing between those who have already flown and those eagerly awaiting their turn.

Not at all. Tandem paragliding generates no feeling of vertigo — it is far more impressive to watch than to do. No prior experience is required, and the vast majority of participants are surprised by the gentleness and serenity of the flight.

How long does the flight last?

A flight lasts between 15 and 30 minutes depending on the day’s flying conditions. Allow a half-day for the whole group to fly, accounting for rotations and waiting times.

Are flights guaranteed whatever the weather?

Not at all. Flights are subject to weather and flying conditions. In the event of unfavourable conditions, Takamaka reschedules the flights and notifies you as promptly as possible to rebook.

Are there any medical restrictions?

Tandem paragliding is not advised for anyone with heart conditions or medical contraindications to aerial activity. If in doubt, consult your doctor before booking.

Is the activity supervised?

Yes. Every flight is conducted with a Takamaka state-licensed pilot. The passenger has nothing to manage — the pilot handles the entire flight.
