At Penguin Paragliding, we keep our trips small and intimate. Rob, tour lead instructor, will be available full time to help you with your flying needs while non-flying companions will be entertained with site seeing options. France is an amazing place to visit and paraglide. In my opinion, it is some of the most scenic flying in the world. Pilots of all levels will enjoy this trip whether you just want to get in a lot of landings or are trying to fly long distances working from thermal to thermal. For pilots, the daily routine will be to choose the best location for the day based on weather conditions, get a solid site intro, and then fly as much as possible. The launches that we will visit are pristine and often manicured like a golf course, the landing fields are large and forgiving. There will basically be no hiking unless you fly far and land out. Some sights are minutes away, other sites are roughly 90 minutes away driving through breathtaking scenery. After a full day of flying there is often time to go for a swim in the lake or explore one of the small towns in the area. Both locations that we are staying are walking distance to a wide variety of restaurants. Each night, we can have a meal with new and old friends while discussing the days flights and always setting goals for improvement.
First destination: Lake Annecy (5 nights). Stay in the town of Talloires, with beautiful views of Lake Annecy and Montmin. Paragliding launches and landing zones within 10-15 minutes. Each hotel room is double occupancy in this beautiful 7 bedroom home. Daily transportation will be provided to paragliding sites.
