Staying in Talloires
An address around Talloires bay offers a different daily routine from one on the slopes above the village. Check whether your room is within walking distance of the landing stage and beach, and whether the return involves a climb. For a paragliding booking, establish the meeting point first: the lakeside village and the Col de la Forclaz are separate destinations.
