Tour programme
- Meeting & Preparation:
The day before your flight, your 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 the flight, you will arrive at the meeting place at the agreed time. If the meeting point is in Barrême, you will then need to drive to the take-off point, about ten minutes away, in the Clumanc valley. There, your instructor will prepare you for the flight: briefing on the session, security measures and information on the aircraft you will be flying with.
- Start and Flight:
Once you're on board, the gyroplane takes off from the runway... and the Provence quickly spreads out under your feet, at an altitude of 300m. Open your eyes wide! A magical spectacle awaits you above the wonders of the region. Thanks to its open cockpit, you will enjoy 360° views of the lake of Castillon, the Verdon valley and many typical villages such as Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, Rougon or Castellane.
- After Landing:
After 20min, the gyroplane will return and land on the runway, not far from your car.
