The sky is the limit

Ever since Xavier de Maistre dared to fly here in 1784, Chambéry Montagnes has cultivated the art of taking to the skies. Even today, at Challes-les-Eaux, enthusiasts take to the skies like people go to the market: with an XXL smile. The aerodrome is THE spot for those who dream of a little shiver down their spine and a great moment above the clouds.

Landscapes to make you blink

Spoiler: it’s magnificent. The silver reflection of Lac du Bourget, the forests of the Chartreuse like a soft carpet, the Bauges cut out like a comic strip. Whether you’re suspended under a sail or aboard a small plane, the effect is the same: the landscape gives you a (gentle) slap in the face. And as a bonus: zero traffic jams.

Up here, everything lights up

One step, one breath, and suddenly… you’re airborne. With a tandem paraglider or on a discovery flight, the ground is farther away, the air becomes lighter, and Savoie is yours in all its glory. Chambéry in miniature, Lac du Bourget in mirror image, the Bauges mountains within your wing’s reach… It’s beautiful, exhilarating and a little unreal. Your heart races, your legs float, and your mind? It soars too. Welcome to the gentlest of take-offs, courtesy of Chambéry Montagnes.
