What it is
Lake Annecy is one of the best-known free-flight sites in Europe. A tandem flight takes you up to the take-off point with a qualified pilot and you glide down to the south shore, above Doussard. No experience is needed: you run a few steps and the pilot does the rest.
Flights and prices
Espace 3D, a Doussard school with the FFVL label, publishes the Zen flight of 10 to 15 minutes at €105 and the Panoramique of 20 to 25 minutes at €120. It also has flights for children and families, a thrill-seeking one and the Prestige, of 40 to 50 minutes using the thermals, which leaves from the Col de la Forclaz, above Talloires. Allow half a day between the meeting, the ride up and the flight.
When
