Treating the whole family to a flight over Lake Annecy is possible — and it starts from age 5. Children, teens, parents and even grandparents can all experience it, each in a tandem with a state-certified instructor. Here's how to plan your family paragliding outing in Annecy, from what age, and our tips to make it unforgettable.
From what age can a child paraglide?
Children can fly from age 5 with our children's flight package (ages 5–12, €85). The flight is tandem, the child settled in front of the instructor. For the youngest (5–7), our instructors assess motivation and readiness on the day — the child always decides.
How does a child's flight work?
Everything is designed to reassure: the children's flight takes place in the morning, when the air is calmest, with a harness sized for the child and an instructor used to younger flyers. The flight lasts 10 to 15 minutes over the lake, with a gentle landing in Doussard. Since 1994 we've flown thousands of children.
What about the parents? Flying together
Tandem paragliding is one passenger + one instructor: you don't fly two passengers at once. But the whole family can easily fly on the same day — one after another, or in parallel with several instructors. While one flies, the others enjoy the show from take-off or landing and capture the moment. Tip: the photos & videos option lets everyone go home with their own images.
Teens and older children: from age 12
From age 12, the adult packages open up:
| Package | For whom | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Classic flight | First time, gentle | €100 |
| Sensation flight | Teens after adrenaline (wing-overs, 360°) | €110 |
| Performance / prestige | Long flight + photos included (prestige) | €135–160 |
In winter: family ski paragliding (from age 6)
In winter, the family can also fly at La Clusaz with ski paragliding (take off on skis, from age 6, €85) — a unique experience to combine with a day at the resort.
Our tips for a great family outing
- Book mornings for children (calmer conditions).
- Closed shoes and a windbreaker for everyone (it's cool at 1,150 m).
- Add the photos & videos option to keep everyone's memories.
- Arrive a little early: the briefing reassures the youngest.
