During a weekend trip to Sources du Lac d\u2019Annecy we decided to take the plunge.<\/h2>\n

At their shop in Doussard, fifteen minutes before our flight, the well-intentioned team welcomed us with a smile. They carefully explained and provided instructions for everything about our tandem flight. We then loaded the gear, took our seats in the vans for the ride to the amazing location of the takeoff area: Col de la Forclaz Pass.<\/p>\n

It took just twenty-five minutes to climb to the takeoff area\u2019s 1150 meter elevation. Although slightly anxious, our stress dissipated once we stepped out of the van: the breathtaking views of Lake Annecy simply left us speechless. We had never seen the lake from this perspective, and magnificent does not begin to describe the landscapes.<\/p>\n

There’s no time for distractions, we need to put our gear on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Get ready for takeoff! <\/h2>\n \n

We carefully listen to Christophe and Maxence <\/em>repeat their instructions one last time right before we take off. On their countdown we start running as fast as we can towards the lake and down the steep-sloping launch. The feeling of diving into the void is stomach dropping, but quickly the wing inflates and lifts us into the sky. At this point we just comfortably sit back in the harness and enjoy the view. The contrast between the lake and the surrounding mountains is striking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/section>\n\n\n
