Higher, longer! If you really want to enjoy the sky above Mont Lachens, your certified instructor will use the thermal currents to keep you in the air for approximately one hour. You will then have all the time to enjoy the marvellous landscapes under your feet, the wild massifs of Sainte-Baume and Mercantour. Your only companions will be the vultures hovering around you and, on the horizon, the blue ribbon of the sea. You can even, if you wish, ask your pilot to add some acrobatics to spice up the flight. An amazing experience!
Tour programme
- Meeting & Preparation:
The day before your flight, a pilot will contact you to tell you the flight time, which is defined according to the weather conditions (the start time you select is a preferred flight time). On the day of your flight, you will go to the meeting place. Then, you will travel the take-off site by 4x4 vehicle. On-site, your pilot will prepare you for the flight: briefing on the session and information on the landscapes you will fly over.
- Start and Flight:
All you have to do now is to take a few steps to fly away... You can enjoy the unique sensations of free flight over breathtaking landscapes. Your pilot will be there to comment on the wonders under your feet. You will glide through the air for about forty-five minutes until you gently touch ground at the landing site.
- After Landing:
The landing site is not far from your vehicle. You can quietly process your experience and then continue your day.
