The sky as a playground
Ever since Xavier de Maistre dared to take to the skies here in 1784, Chambéry Montagnes has been cultivating the art of soaring high. Even today, in Challes-les-Eaux, aviation enthusiasts take to the skies just as others head to the market: with a huge smile on their faces. The aerodrome is THE place for anyone dreaming of a little thrill and a truly memorable experience high above the clouds.
Landscapes that’ll make you blink in disbelief
Spoiler alert: it’s magnificent. Lake Bourget shimmering like silver, the Chartreuse forests like a soft carpet, the Bauges mountains as jagged as in a comic book. Whether you’re suspended beneath a paraglider or aboard a small plane, the effect is the same: the scenery takes your breath away (in the best possible way). And as a bonus: no traffic jams.
Up there, everything comes into focus
One step, one breath, and suddenly… you’re taking off. Whether in a tandem paraglider or on an introductory flight, the ground recedes, the air grows lighter, and Savoie unfolds before you in all its grandeur. Chambéry in miniature, Lake Bourget like a mirror, the Bauges within a wing’s reach… It’s beautiful, exhilarating, and a little surreal. Your heart races, your legs float in the void, and your mind? It soars too. Welcome to the smoothest of take-offs, brought to you by Chambéry Montagnes.
