Paraglider at La Tournette, by Ola Cedell

From the golf course in Echarvines on Lake Annecy west side rises La Tournette the Massif des Bornes 2351 m above sea level. It is the highest summit of the mountains around Annecy and one of the most outstanding panoramas of the Alps. From the top, you see the half of the French Alps from Mont Blanc to La Meije and from Pointe Percée to Mont Aiguille. An area for the active traveler, which offers grand views, advanced activity and an extraordinary experience. The picturesque old town is located on the bank of the Thiou River and Lake Annecy, one of the Largest and arguably most spectacular natural lakes in France.
