The ultimate paragliding flight, from one summit to the next!
We call it: the cross ...
This grand theft Tandem paragliding takes place in the afternoon, weather permitting. It's for those with a sweet tooth, those who want more, aerial trekking to jump from one massif to another, leaving the shores of the lake to enter the Bornes massif, or the Aravis, the Bauges... The stronger thermals in the second part of the day allow us to gain altitude and envisage greater transitions!
Incredible views over Annecy and its lake and the surrounding areaIn short, an unforgettable experience for anyone who has already flown thermals, lift or prestige.
Of course, the weather conditions will have to be right, but those lucky enough to be able to take advantage of it will experience an exceptional moment. You'll stay in the air long enough to enjoy an unforgettable aerial experience with a view over the Annecy region, and quench your thirst for flight. Entry requirements: you must have already completed at least one 30-minute paragliding flight, either as a tandem pilot (first flight) or as a pilot.
Flight time: between 1h and 1h15
Realization: at 3pm
Public: aged 15 and over (from 40kg to 100kg)
Tarif : 225€
The photos and videos of your first paragliding flight are included (conditions permitting). Using a wide-angle camera ( GoPro), they will be transferred in your phone directly after the flight .*
*subject to the possibility of performing them in flight

Your questions about paragliding first flights in Annecy :
Every paraglider has to compulsory third-party insurance which covers any damage caused to others. As an EFVL-FFVL approved school, our students must also take out a licence, which includes this compulsory insurance. This insurance is valid throughout the calendar year, and is renewed in the autumn.
>> SIMPLIFIED VERSION for STAGE INITIATION
There are several options available to you, depending on how much you practice:
- FFVL student insurance for 9 days : Ideal for your first paragliding course, you will only be covered in a FFVL-approved school. This insurance will not cover you if you wish to fly solo, i.e. outside a paragliding school. Days can be taken non-consecutively.
- FFVL annual student insurance : affordable annual package, which only covers you when you are supervised by an FFVL structure. However, if you want to fly on your own during the year, you can top up your cover and take out annual "Flying" insurance.
- FFVL "First-time licence holder" insurance The FFVL is offering you a special price for your very first annual licence. Obviously not renewable. You'll be insured all year round, for solo or supervised flights.
- FFVL "Flying" insurance: This is the classic annual insurance for independent pilots.
Note: each time you take out a licence, you will need to choose a paragliding club to join. Take a paragliding club near you so you can play your part!
