About Fly Safe Annecy
Fly Safe Annecy is a tandem paragliding and pilot-training operator working the classic Annecy flying corridor, with takeoff from the Col de la Forclaz high above the lake and landing on the wide paragliding field at Doussard. Annecy is considered the free-flight capital of Europe, and Fly Safe pairs that world-class terrain with an experienced, safety-focused team that flies guests of all ages out over the water.
For visitors, the headline product is the tandem flight, offered in graduated formats: short children's and discovery flights of 10 to 15 minutes, panoramic flights of up to 25 minutes, and longer thrill and ascendance flights that hunt rising air to stay aloft for half an hour or more. Beyond first-timer flights, Fly Safe also runs SIV courses — structured safety and manoeuvre training for licensed pilots wanting to improve their skills — and seasonal speed-flying in winter, giving the business a strong instructional dimension alongside the scenic rides.
The operator's distinguishing feature is its emphasis on safety and flexibility, including same-day booking for travellers chasing a good-weather window. The blend of accessible tandem flights for tourists and serious progression courses for pilots makes Fly Safe Annecy a versatile choice, whether someone wants a once-in-a-lifetime float over the turquoise lake or a focused training week in one of the best flying sites in the world.
