August 14 · 15 · 16, 2026 — Villeneuve, Switzerland
The World's Biggest Free-Flight Acrobatics Show
3 days. 30,000 pairs of eyes on the sky. The world's best pilots. And between the cliffs and the lake, a show no screen can do justice.
Quand le ciel devient
un terrain de jeu
Picture this. You're standing by Lake Geneva, sun on your face, cold drink in hand. Above you, a paragliding pilot throws impossible tricks — infinity tumbling, helicopter, SAT. Behind the Malatraix cliffs, a wingsuit pilot launches. You see it on the giant screen, live onboard camera. They're diving at 200 km/h, skimming the rock face, heading straight for a 6-meter raft. In the middle of the lake.
That's the Acro Show.
For 16 years, every summer, Villeneuve becomes the world capital of free-flight acrobatics. The event hosts an Acro World Tour stage — the best pilots on Earth compete here. But the Acro Show is more than a competition. It's a festival. Adrenaline, sunshine, foam parties, and that moment when 30,000 people hold their breath at the same time.
Free entry. No barrier between you and the action.

The raft challenge
The big raft. 6 meters across. The target wingsuit pilots aim for after launching from the Malatraix cliffs. At 200 km/h, it looks like a dot on Lake Geneva.
The small raft. 1 meter. For those who want the legend. Filmed live, onboard camera, broadcast on giant screens. You see what the pilot sees.
The cliff pulls away. The lake rushes up. And the raft — that tiny dot — grows at 200 km/h.
When they land, the crowd erupts.

100% volunteer-run for 16 years. Without the support of our partners, none of this would exist. Every logo below represents someone who believes in this event.
See the show from the sky
While the world's best acrobats throw tricks above Lake Geneva, you're up there with them. A tandem paragliding flight during the Acro Show — not a standard baptism. You fly in the middle of the spectacle.
1h30 experience. Takeoff from Sonchaux. The lake below, the pilots around you, and 30,000 spectators watching from Villeneuve square.
