Activity description
Fly over the winter landscape of La Clusaz during a 10-minute tandem paragliding discovery flight!
From mid-December to mid-April (depending on snow conditions and when the ski lifts are open), paragliding over La Clusaz is an activity not to be missed, just a stone's throw from Annecy and its lake. An alpine ski resort at the foot of the Aravis mountain range, La Clusaz offers magnificent winter scenery, which you can admire from an exceptional aerial angle on this discovery tandem paragliding flight from Beauregard!
Carried out alongside a state-qualified instructor, this winter paragliding flight in La Clusaz will take you over the village and its surroundings for almost 10 minutes. Depending on what you want to do at the time, the paraglider pilot will adapt the flight to make it an unforgettable experience: whether you want to quietly observe the panorama below you, get your thrills by doing a few acrobatic figures or try your hand at piloting the paraglider, you will have an incredible time, personalised just for you!
Don't miss this winter's paragliding flight over La Clusaz by booking your place on a discovery tandem flight now!
The Beauregard take-off is located at the top of the Beauregard cable car. You can take off on foot or on skis, as you prefer. Note that if you want to take off on foot, you'll need to buy a pedestrian pass to get to the top of the gondola (€6).
The Beauregard flight has a total difference in altitude of 700 m, during which you will fly over La Clusaz and can even take control of the paraglider under the instructor's supervision.
At the end of the flight, if you wish, the instructor can also perform a few acrobatic flight tricks. Thrills guaranteed!
Allow around 30 minutes for the whole activity, including the briefing, equipment and setting up the paraglider. The flight itself lasts around 10 minutes, depending on the weather conditions.
