⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Un A huge thank you to Maxime, the instructor, for this incredible experience! My son Maxime went paragliding for the very first time, and came away with a big smile on his face and a head full of memories. Maxime was an exceptional instructor: very educational, reassuring and passionate. He was able to explain each stage of the flight clearly and taught my son lots of things, and he came away not only amazed but also enriched with new knowledge about paragliding.Thanks again Maxime, on behalf of Maxime (and his mum)! 🙏100% recommendation %

Yesterday, Sunday 29 June, I flew cross-country ++ with Ely; I wanted to say a big thank you to him! I had a lot of fun flying once again, getting close to the cliffs of the beautiful ridges of the various massifs surrounding Annecy (Dents de Lanfon, Pramelan, Veyrier du lac, then in the distance the Roc des BƓufs ...) and take advantage of the beautiful convections of warm air to gain altitude (I particularly liked going through the Pramelan then overlooking the north of Annecy before returning to Veyrier du lac)Everything was very tooop (with also the aerobatics at the end that I always love😉)Thank you very much to all for your welcome and your dynamismY go with your eyes closed (should I say with your eyes wide open to enjoy to the max!!!); very professional team, and they put you at ease straight awayI highly recommend.Olivier

An incredible team that I was lucky enough to get to know during my introductory paragliding course.two instructors, Vincent and Olivier, who were as committed as they were attentive and who simply allowed us to discover the beauties of paragliding.I came away not only with stars in my eyes but also with a passion for it! Thank you so much to them for the way they taught us, the way they adapted, the way they looked after us, their patience, the atmosphere and their involvement throughout the week! You've clearly convinced me. Can't wait to book the autonomy course!

I did my autonomy course in July 2024 with Les Grands espaces, and I'm delighted! The week was full of practical experience, with quality equipment and a great group atmosphere. We had great instructors who were always keen to share their passion with us. The teaching and the friendly atmosphere were top-notch. I really feel I've made progress. Thank you for a great week, and I hope to see you soon!

An absolutely perfect experience!Thank you to Olivier for accompanying me on my very first flight - he was very patient, very professional, and the photos are superb! I'd also like to thank the young woman who was driving: she drove quickly and smoothly, which enabled me to come down from the mountain comfortably after the flight.

Great introductory course with Olivier and Thibaut despite the bad weather in the middle of the week. A thought for Olivier who lost his bet, I'll make it up to you.

My son had a great flight with Thibault (sorry if I spelled that wrong!), he was able to take advantage of the beginning of the updrafts to fly for a while and enjoy some acrobatics, in complete safety with a super pro.The whole team on site is adorable, welcoming and smiling.Next time it's my turn (even 2 times to catch up 😁).Thank you for my son! And see you soon, for sure!

We did a discovery session with some friends and we didn't regret it. Olivier showed me what it's like to fly and I loved it. The little pre-flight apprehension disappeared after a few minutes with a kind and super-friendly instructor. So don't hesitate, you won't regret it.
