France - Curiosity - Back to index

Annecy and La Clusaz on Google Maps.
The mountain around the lake of Annecy and the alpine town of La Clusaz in the French Alps, just a few kilometers from Annecy, are the places most frequented by lovers of paragliding.
But they are not only specialists in this sport to fly over the waters of the lake. Recently, the French region of Haute-Savoie, decided to invest in this sport to create numerous launch sites equipped to accommodate those who want to try flying with paragliding.
Dozens of schools and hundreds of instructors accompany adults and children in their first flying over the waters of Lake Annecy or on the Alps of La Clusaz, the town that winter becomes a famous ski resort.
