Annecy = Paragliders Paradise!
Living in a dream - don't want to wake up....
During of the World Cup in Annecy, I really admired this wonderful jewel of
the Alps:
the Lac de Annecy and its surroundings. It is a paradise not only for
paragliders.
But what really knocked me of my feet was when I found a real angel living
in this
paradise!

Here you can see the view right after takeoff: The wonderful turquoise
color of the lake, Talloires in the foreground and Annecy in the
Background. I live where the little arrow points on the right. |

|
This is Annecy, older and newer parts. | |
|
the wonderful Old-Town in detail... With our private parking (see boat pic at the end) |
|
|
this is the entry to the lake... and the caribbean-like colors at |
|
|
The Hotel Imperial Palace had a loud party going on with more than 2000 visitors that day |
|
|
Looking back from here you can see where I will land shortly: Only a little footwalk away from home... |
|
|
Here is where I live: When I behave well, I am even allowed to sleep indoors! ;-) |
|
|
Here is my private landing strip: Thanks Pepi for letting me use it! |

A house near the lower takeoff, featuring the "million-dollar infinity pool" with an underwater soundsystem that Kris has nightmares about! |
|
|
Mt Veyrier Ridge on the way to Annecy. Flying is just one of the sports you can do here: On this pic you can spot some climbers above my shadow. |
|
|
But of course I need to prove that I really found an angel: Here it is, and of without a doubt: angels can fly! ;-) |
|
|
Here we go shopping to Annecy old-town, parking right in the heart it (see 3rd pic above) | |
|
Not only paragliding can get you high! ;-) | |
