Around the well known lake Annecy I know 3 take off places. On the north of the lake there are two large start place with rug. There is a parking place next to the lower (N45.51.181 E6 13.345) its landing place is at (N45.50.924 E6 12.786). You can reach the upper (N45 48.794 E6 15.162) by car but parking is not allowed there, someone has to take the car down or you can leave the it at the restaurant and then 10 minutes walk. From the main landing place (N45 47.080 E6 13.289) they take you up for 5 euro by minibus.

Well, actually it is not really an acro competition but mostly acro pilots takes part in. It's the ultimate competition of WAGA flying, the freestyle section of paragliding.
What is it all about? All kind of tricks with ground contact, like amazing helicopter landings, death spirals, advanced ground handling and such a spectacular things.
Acrolac
Posted 2008 January 09 by justACRO in
Acrolac (also a staion of the World Aerobatics Tour) started in 2002 and till 2004, and it took place at Lac d'Aiguebelette, close to Chambéry (France).
However Lac d'Aiguebelette was not the perfect spot for an aerobatics competition and many times the competitors doesn’t have enough altitude above the lake to finish their programs. In 2005 the organizers decided to move the competition to the nearby Lac du Borget.
