What is a paragliding flight like?

A Journey into the Unknown

If you’re eager to head up into the mountains, start by heading to the Delta Evasion chalet (paid parking lot at the community center). Allow between 1.5 and 2 hours for your experience. Our shuttle will then take you to the Col de la Forclaz to begin your journey into a world high above the ground…

Is the adrenaline slowly building?

After a briefing from your instructor, your harness is on, the straps are adjusted, the wing is set up, and the lines are checked—so it’s time to experience something new! Takeoff is smooth and gentle, with your instructor giving you the signal. It’s your turn! Walk down the slope until the wing gains enough lift, and whoosh—your feet leave the ground… You’re soaring! Comfortably seated in your harness, the world opens up before you.

At the end of your flight, you’ll touch down gently at the Doussard airfield, watched over by your guides. Have you recovered from the excitement? You can then view the photos and videos from your flight and head home with a head full of memories!

Annecy, Europe's most popular paragliding site

The starting point toward infinity

Ranked among Europe’s most beautiful paragliding sites, the Col de la Forclaz offers sweeping views of Lake Annecy and the surrounding mountains. You’ll soar over a remarkable landscape between the Bornes Massif and the Aravis. The turquoise reflections, the graceful peaks, the traditional houses of Doussard and Talloires, the dazzling Alpine range… Your experience soaring through the sky will be unparalleled.

Warning: you might never forget this idyllic setting!

Any questions?

A team at your service

Is this your first time paragliding, or do you just want to learn more? Our FAQ answers all your questions: what to expect during the flight, what to wear, weather conditions… Plan your adventure with confidence and take off with a light heart!

Paragliding is an aerial sport that allows you to fly using a wing specially designed to glide on rising air currents. There’s no freefall here—just the sensation of gliding through the air!

Yes! In fact, vertigo is a sensation linked to having a point of reference on the ground. When paragliding, your feet aren’t in contact with a fixed surface, which prevents vertigo from occurring.

Our flights are available for children ages 3 and up (with parental consent). Our instructors tailor their approach to younger children to ensure a peaceful experience.

Of course! With tandem flights supervised by certified instructors, no prior experience is necessary. The pilot takes care of everything—from takeoff to landing, including controlling the flight!

Please wear clothing appropriate for the day’s weather and athletic shoes. All flight equipment will be provided. Dress as if you were going for a hike in the mountains, because flying is still a sport!

We will work with you to schedule one or more dates. If that is not possible, we will refund your entire deposit.

Paragliding can be enjoyed year-round, but the best times are still spring and summer. The weather conditions are indeed more stable during those seasons.

We accept passengers weighing up to 120 kg fully clothed. To ensure the best possible experience, please let us know your weight when you book!

Yes! We have Deltagirls—experienced and passionate instructors who will guide you with enthusiasm and professionalism.
Our pilots adjust the flight to minimize any discomfort. If you’re sensitive to turbulence, please let us know in advance so we can give you the smoothest flight possible! Paragliding is available year-round, but the best times are still spring and summer, when weather conditions are more stable.

Our takeoff site is located at Col de la Forclaz, above the village of Montmin.
The landing site is in Doussard at Route de la Plaine, in front of the community center.

You’ll board our minibus and head to the Col de la Forclaz. Your instructor will be with you.

An amazing flight—thank you, Delta Evasion

Quite simply because the flying conditions there are exceptional! It’s worth noting that the first paragliding flights took place in Haute-Savoie, in Mieussy, in 1978.

The world's first paragliding club, "Les Choucas," is founded. In the years that followed, regulations were established for the sport; the FFVL (French Federation of Free Flight) fostered the sport's growth nationwide and made it more accessible.

Since 2002, the municipalities affected by paragliding flights aroundLake Annecy(Doussard, Montmin, and Talloires) have formed an association to manage and maintain takeoff and landing sites.

Paragliding is, above all, a sport. Synonymous with fun and recreation for tourists looking to explore the region in a different way,paraglidingcan be quite acrobatic. International competitions are held inAnnecyas well as around the world.

Paraglidinglets youflylike a bird. No engine, just the whistle of the breeze rushing through the wing, a feeling of calm and freedom. But how is it possible toflyso high and for so long without an engine?Paraglidinguses the sun’s energy, which warms the ground and creates thermal updrafts in which the paraglider circles to gain altitude and stayairborne longer.

Takeoff with aparaglideris smooth: you don’t jump like with a parachute—you take off! There’s no fear of heights; you simply run calmly down a gentle slope before rising smoothly. In fact,paraglidingwas originally called“slope flying.” There’s also no sensation of vertigo because your feet aren’t resting on a fixed surface.

Paragliding in Annecyis an experience that anyone can enjoy!
