Les détails du vol
Description of the Discovery Flight
You will be welcomed and accompanied by our top-notch team, made up exclusively of State-certified professional instructors. With only one goal in mind: to set sail towards the unique sensations of paragliding! Lake Annecy will be yours to admire in all its splendor, like you’ve never seen it before – we guarantee an absolute rediscovery!
This package is ideal for a first flight, in calm conditions, to discover the sensation of flying safely. The flight takes place in the morning, before noon, when the weather conditions are the gentlest. So, there will be no turbulence. No prerequisites, except the ability to jog a bit during take-off to get going. Once in the air, you can take the controls if you wish.
How the Discovery Baptism Flight Unfolds
We ask that you arrive about 15 minutes before the flight. You will be looked after all the way to the take-off area.
Your instructor will help you get equipped and will reassure you by explaining the details of the take-off. Once the wing is unfolded and inflated, you’ll start jogging, then running until the paraglider lifts you off the ground. During this discovery flight, you’ll fly along the mountain before heading, with one of our State-certified instructors, to one of Europe’s most prestigious sites and be in awe of the majestic Lake Annecy. If you wish, you can then take the controls and pilot yourself. Just before landing, you’ll need to stand up again and take a few steps as you touch down – no problem at all. After landing and packing up the paraglider, we’ll take you back to the starting point by shuttle.

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.
