AMAZING Annecy Paragliding Flight | In 10 MINUTES To Cloudbase

My last paragliding flight in Annecy was absolutely amazing. I got some strong 5 m/s second thermals and I reached the cloudbase in just 10 minutes. Paragliding in Annecy was one of my best experiences on my 3800 km cycling journey through Europe.

After flying 2 times in Annecy the day before, I spent the night in the tent and next morning, I took the shuttle to bring me to Planfait, which is a small take off site. Once I arrived there, I met a group of pilots and I hiked up the mountain to the launch site ''col des fretes'' together with them. I reached the launch site 30 minutes before them and I had time to enjoy the beautiful view over the landscape. I had to wait more than 2 hours from the moment I arrived, until I finally took off. The cloudbase was very low at first, but with time it got higher. I managed to catch some strong thermals and I reached the cloudbase in a bit less than 10 minutes. Enjoy watching!

There is a lot to tell and show about this epic bike journey. I've had very beautiful and exciting moments but also moments of pain, frustration and misery. Traveling on bike for such long distances teaches you who you really are, what you really want in life and what you are made of.
