Discovery flight: what’s this tandem paragliding flight like ?
You’ll drive from Doussard, a charming little village near Annecy, to the Montmin take-off. It’s an approximately 20-minute up-hill drive together with the merry Tangata Manu team and the other paragliding passengers. Once at the top of the mountain looking out on the staggering view of Lake Annecy, you’ll be kit out with a helmet and a harness while listening carefully to your paraglider-instructor’s security instructions. Although you might have heard people talk about a paragliding jump, a paragliding take-off has nothing to do with leaping: the paraglider will progressively carry you up in the air from the ground-covering carpet.
Once on the wing and if you wish, your pilot will offer you some exciting acrobatic moves, so as to ad an extra thrill to your tandem flight !
Landing is as easy as falling off a log: get ready to stand up or, if your pilot decides so, lift your legs in order to gently land on the soft shock-absorbing pillow.
