passionate about flying
12 state-certified instructors selected for their skill and their warmth — we speak English!
A passionate team at your service
Parapente Annecy is a team of state-certified professional instructors, passionate about free flight for over 30 years. Their goal? To share their love of paragliding and help you discover the joy of flying above Lake Annecy.
Down-to-earth, dynamic, passionate and exceptional pilots — several with international competition titles — they were above all chosen for their warmth and their love of sharing. They'll help you make your dream of flying a reality!
Your instructors for your flight or course
One of the pioneers of paragliding in Annecy. Also a hot air balloon pilot and holder of a surprising tandem record from the roof of Europe — ask him about it!
The team champion. Discreet and humble, he's formidably skilled with a wing above his head and unfailingly kind with every passenger.
The king of in-flight photography and social media. Fly with him and you're guaranteed amazing photos to share with everyone you know!
A top acrobatic pilot, one of the best in France. Want thrills? Ask him to push the brake a little. But he's equally happy delivering smooth, peaceful flights.
Always chasing new paragliding adventures around the world. A distance and acrobatic pilot of the highest level — enjoy flying with him before he heads off again!
Flying this site since 1994 — and still not tired of the view. One of the founding members of the team. His love for Annecy and paragliding is totally contagious!
Spotted relaxing in his favourite hammock at the Doussard landing zone — well, the view over the lake from there really isn't bad at all!
A top cross-country pilot with several flights of over 200km to his name. The chilliest member of the team — spotted in a down jacket in the middle of summer. Perhaps he just flies higher than the rest!
A demanding selection process since 1994
At Parapente Annecy, we don't just recruit technically skilled pilots — we choose people who know how to share their love of free flight. Every instructor is selected as much for their human qualities as for their flying level. That's what has made the difference for 30 years — and why our passengers keep coming back.
