Take a paragliding flight

A unique and breathtaking experience

If you’re on a holiday in Les Sources du lac d’Annecy or if you live here, you’re lucky to be right next to one of the best spots for paragliding in the whole world!

At Col de la Forclaz, many solo-paragliders, paragliding schools and tandem structures start their flights… so get ready for take-off !

A small team at your service

A tandem flight with someone you can trust

For a first, a third, or even a tenth flight, you can trust Franck Mattola and his small organisation of 3 pilots “À l’air libre”.

The pilot’s words:

“After 20 years of experience, I decided to create a small organisation to meet all of your expectations and personalise each flight. The organisation has 3 or 4 pilots, which allows us to have a congenial and human approach, as you’ll only be addressing one person from your phone booking to your smooth landing.”

À l’air libre only takes bookings through the phone which gives you the possibility to have a first contact with the activity and ask the questions you might have about paragliding.

A wide range of different flights

For a personalised experience

From April to October, they will take you flying with the birds during the kids’ flight “Aiglon”(small eagle) and the adults’ flights « Découverte »(discovery), « Dynamique » (dynamic), « Prestige » or « Rando »(hike and fly).

What’s the difference between these flights? Some offer a moment of sweet escape and contemplation of the mountains and the lake, others will make you experience thrills with tricks to spice up your stay…

There is one sure thing, everyone can fly, from 5 to 80 years old, all in a good mood and congenial setting !
