Les détails du vol
Description of the Pilot Training Flight
This flight is designed for those wishing to continue on to training, or for already initiated pilots who want to progress safely in a variety of conditions.
In the pursuit of autonomy, there are various key stages to master to feel confident: managing pendular movements, exploiting thermals, positioning yourself in the air mass to optimize your trajectory, and rapid descent techniques. We adapt to your level to provide the best possible experience.
The entire Annecy Parapente team has extensive experience in initiation and progression courses, and we will be happy to share our knowledge to help you optimize your practice.
How the Pilot Training Flight Unfolds
Your meeting point is in the town of Talloires-Montmin, about thirty minutes from Annecy. You’ll be welcomed by our team who will give you a weather briefing to choose the take-off site (Planfait or Col de la Forclaz).
Once take-off is complete, you’ll quickly be able to take the controls to feel the thermals and understand the keys to flying in varied conditions. This will allow you to progress more confidently, demystify pendular movements, and reassure you in your progress.
We will provide instruction tailored to your level and highlight the points to work on, combining theory with hands-on practice.
The approach to the landing field and its specific features will be explained to you in real time.
This is the flight that will help you improve, a specialty of Annecy Parapente.

La foire aux questions
What to wear for a paragliding flight?
It is necessary to have trainers or closed shoes and to bring trousers and a windbreaker, even if you do not use them during the flight.
At an altitude of over 1000 metres, there can be a big difference in temperature and wind.
How long does the flight take?
The duration of the flight may vary depending on the weather conditions and the passenger’s abilities.
It also depends on the type of flight you choose.
From what age can I fly a paraglider?
There is no age limit for flying. When you are a child from 4 or 5 years old, we can take a child if he wants to and if he is ready, without any problem.
Concerning the maximum age limit, if the person is mobile, can walk and scoot, then we can take him/her and choose the right conditions to take him/her flying.
Are you afraid of heights when paragliding?
Surprisingly, this is a concept we don’t have because our feet don’t touch the ground and we are sitting comfortably.
Don’t be afraid to fly if you are afraid of heights, because you won’t be afraid at all once you are in the air!
Can we fly paragliders in winter?
Adrenaline Parapente is open every day all year round. We can fly all year round, either from the Col de la Forclaz, even if there is a little snow, or from Courchevel where we take off on skis for other sensations.
Who will be my pilot for my first paragliding experience?
At Adrenaline Parapente, all our pilots have a state certificate. They have all made their passion their profession.
All our gliders and harnesses are also recent and revised every year to ensure maximum safety.
What weight to fly a paraglider?
As a general rule, there is no minimum weight for paragliding. However, to take light people we will choose the right moment in the day. For the maximum weight, we stop at 115kg for the passenger.
Can I fly a paraglider if I am pregnant?
For pregnant women, it is better not to fly, even if there are no shocks or risks, we prefer to tell them to wait and find the right moment to fly serenely.
For what reasons can my flight be cancelled?
When you book a flight, it may be cancelled through no fault of our own.
We take the weather report the day before and if we think there is going to be rain, thunderstorms or too much wind we prefer to cancel the flight for safety reasons.
