I did a 5-day introductory course with 4 flights despite complicated weather conditions. The support was very good, and the instructors were very involved in the practical and theoretical teaching. A big thank you to the whole Grands Espaces team, you're top notch!

This introductory course was a springboard for my motivation to take up this sport, thanks to my 2 instructors, who were patient and paid a lot of attention to each member of the group. The welcome was warm and pleasant, with a very good general atmosphere.we also learned a lot: a technical but affordable and essential theory on a range of subjects (mechanics, legislation, equipment, meteorology...) which opened our minds a little more to the world of paragliding. This theory is fun, with the group actively participating, and is well rephrased when we don't understand a point, which really helps us to understand and assimilate everything at the end of the day or the week. Despite the weather, the commitment of CĂ©dric and AhcĂšne enabled us to balance practice and inflation on the school slope, and lessons in the warmth of the classroom.As for the premises and equipment, I have nothing to complain about, everything is perfect, clean and efficient, with even a coffee machine! Finally, you can't talk about Grands Espaces without mentioning the setting: magnificent scenery around Lake Annecy, close to the Planfait and La Forclaz take-off points, the perfect place to learn paragliding.I had an unforgettable week, thanks to CĂ©dric and AhcĂšne (top instructors) and I look forward to coming back! 😉

This cross-country course at Grands Espaces made me want to fly again, because I really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to make my own flight. I discovered group flying and the region in complete safety. Thank you to the whole team.
