Do I need previous paragliding experience?
No experience is required. This tandem flight is specifically designed for first-time flyers who want to discover paragliding in complete safety. Your professional pilot takes care of everything from take-off to landing.
Is take-off difficult?
Not at all. After a few running steps at the Col de la Forclaz take-off area, the wing inflates smoothly and gently lifts you into the air. The entire process is simple and fully supervised by your pilot.
Is the flight suitable for people who are afraid of heights?
Yes. Surprisingly, most people who suffer from vertigo feel perfectly comfortable while paragliding. Once airborne, the sensation is more like flying than standing at the edge of a cliff.
What scenery will I see during the flight?
You will enjoy breathtaking views of Lake Annecy, the Aravis Mountains, the Bauges Massif and the beautiful forests surrounding the lake. The Col de la Forclaz is widely regarded as one of the finest paragliding sites in Europe.
Can I pilot the paraglider during the flight?
Yes. If weather conditions allow and you are interested, your pilot may let you take the controls for a few moments. It's a fantastic way to experience the feeling of flying while remaining completely safe.
What happens in case of bad weather?
Safety always comes first. If weather or flying conditions are not suitable, the flight may be postponed or cancelled by the professional pilots to ensure the safest possible experience.
