Paragliding Free Flying
Every time I go paragliding in Annecy, I think how lucky we are to have such progressively challenging, consistently reliable, interesting and beautiful paragliding which is so accessible and just on the doorstep of our Bed and breakfast in the Alps. The paragliding flights shown by clicking Clients Flights are ones that I have done over the past few years living in the Annecy valley. This is by no means a definitive guide to XC paragliding in the region, but rather a selection of my favorites with the emphasis heavily on recreational pilots often on their first visit to Annecy. If you visit us as a ‘Free Flyer’ you will benefit from the following :-
· Access to a PC for internet,
GPS, photography, video and backups (CD, DVD and all memory cards).
· Daily weather analysis and briefing.
· Advice on which launch sites to use.
· Suggested tasks and routes for the day.
· Organisation of transport to launch and retrieves.
· The biggest safest paraglider landing field in France and an
excellent alternative at the end of the garden.
· The opportunity to hire a guide/coach for the day.

Paragliding Coaching and Guiding.

Check out the team
To be a competent guide in this complex area it's no good just bringing a few guys on holiday for a week now and then.*
The activities
Two great ways to improve your paragliding every day.
- You can choose to fly in the company of friends and other guests or
- You can choose to hire a professional guide and seriously boost your experience and ability.
Either way you'll have more fun flying than you have ever had before. That's the Annecy experience.
Each day over breakfast with your friends you can check out the weather and make plans for the day. Do you want to chill out, fly with your mates or do you want to make time for a particular ambition.
Many pilots want to take the opportunity to improve their flying or have set themselves a particular goal. If so talk it over with one of our professional guides. He'll fill out an interest sheet and keep an eye on weather conditions for you. Then when conditions are right everything will be ready.
So if it's free flying or a professional guide you make the choice confident that we have the experience, knowledge and ability to make it happen.
