Air sports Haute-Savoie

Annecy and its lake are even more beautiful seen from the sky in the silence of a majestic balloon flight. Enjoying a certain comfort but especially a breathtaking view, we let ourselves be carried by balloons that show us Annecy and the Alps from another angle. The pilots are professionals ensuring a perfect safety of the flight. From take-off to landing, the sensations of pleasure are intense. The only condition to our happiness is the weather. The hot air balloons cannot take off in case of rain, snow or fog and by wind higher than 20 km/h. Unforgettable sensations and a show to share in complete safety with a great team of enthusiasts.
