About the activity
Recognised as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 2025, Lake Bourget is an alpine lake located in Savoie, just 30 minutes by road from Lake Annecy. Less touristy yet every bit as beautiful as its neighbour, Lake Bourget offers the perfect setting for nature lovers looking to enjoy outdoor activities away from the crowds.
Join this paragliding activity above Lake Bourget and enjoy a safe and pleasant experience with a team of professionals, all trained by Yann Martail, founder of Aix en Vol and World Paragliding Champion in 2010. Whether you'd like a brief introduction to paragliding with a 10-minute flight or a full immersion with a 40-minute option, this activity is designed to suit everyone, with 4 different flight durations available.
Either way, a paragliding flight above Lake Bourget is a unique opportunity to discover the region from a whole new perspective, whatever your fitness level. All you need to do is run a few metres before take-off, then sit back and enjoy the flight whilst your instructor takes care of the piloting. You'll be free to take in the surrounding landscapes at your leisure: Mont Revard, Mont du Chat, the Bauges massif, and of course Lake Bourget itself! Depending on the season, these landscapes may be dusted with snow or ablaze with the vibrant colours of autumn and spring!
Available year-round and accessible to children from the age of 4, this paragliding flight near Aix-les-Bains is the ideal choice for an unforgettable moment in the heart of nature. Book now and prepare to rediscover Savoie from the sky, in complete safety!
