Take advantage of a 5 days introductory paragliding course with certified instructors above the magnificent lake of Annecy!

Learn the basics of paragliding thanks to the Libre Envol school during a 5 days introductory course, according to your availability and your expectations. Your group being limited to 7 people maximum, this course will allow you to do paragliding flights in calm aerological conditions specific to the Annecy region and to benefit from a more individualized teaching.

With your glider, harness, helmet, radio and FFVL (Fédération Française de Vol Libre) license in hand, you will take off the first 2 days for small flights of a few meters on a beautiful slope next to the lake of Annecy ("grass school"), the goal being to learn how to take off and land. Once you have acquired the basic movements, you will be ready for the great flights of the last three days of the course!

Thanks to these courses spread over 5 days, you will be able to start making your first solo paragliding flights after this initial training.

Note that this course is from Wednesday to Sunday (included), and that it isn't possible to do it in a spited way. Which means the course is five days in a row.
