Tour programme- Meeting and Preparation:
We meet at the reserved time (a bar is open at the base if you are early) to show you your flight equipment, and so you get to know your pilot. We'll then be off in our SUV to the take-off area.
- Start and Flight:
You will gear up once you arrive and will take off as soon as the runway is free. At the "go" from your pilot, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 fast steps will allow you to smoothly take off with the pilot. In the blink of an eye, you will feel a breathtaking sensation will you and these 20 minutes will always feel too short. You will land at the meeting point 800 m below and will be able to share your experience with your relatives who will have observed you from the ground with envy.
