Imagine, dream, learn, share…
These words are an invitation to live an adventure, they are also at the origin of our passions.
If they mean anything to you, we invite you to experience them with us during our stays abroad.
Nicolas’ country of adoption, Italy, is a beautiful destination between sea and mountains. Different options are possible between dynamic flights on the Adriatic coast, discovery of the plain in the Apennines or thermal flights in the Alps north of Turin.
Italy is also the visit of majestic sites in the Umbria region without forgetting its culinary flavours.
Itinerant trip over the northern half of Italy. After a short passage on the Italian Alps, we will make you discover the centre of Italy between the Mediterranean and the Adriatic, on the Apennines range. This mountain range offers many possibilities for free flight enthusiasts thanks to grassy take-offs, wide valleys and generous sunshine.
You will have the chance to fly in thermals between the plains and the mountains while enjoying beautiful end-of-day renditions at sites such as Castelluccio de Norcio or Monte Cucco.
For the days when we would not fly, possibility to discover the Apennine Chain and the Park of Monte CONERO.

When paragliding becomes an excuse to travel…
It is not by chance that Gilles and Martial have selected this destination, Colombia is the ideal country to combine paragliding and travel. After having spotted the area during previous trips, they wanted to share this country full of charms with you.
You will have the chance to fly in the mythical Cauca Valley, where the town of Roldanillo hosts many stages of the Paragliding World Cup (PWC). This valley, framed by two mountain ranges, offers weather conditions particularly favourable for thermal and distance flying. It further offers exceptional conditions for both mountain and flatland flying, allowing you to diversify and perfect your activity.

A strategic location
Our premises are located at the take-off point of Saint Hilaire du Touvet. During our courses, we can choose to fly in Saint Hilaire and take advantage of the site and the diversity of the possible routes, or to leave for one of the many sites in the area. This strategic location ensures that we can offer flights adapted to the aerological conditions and to your level.
Depending on your needs, we have several training slopes, one on the plateau and the other in the valley next to the landing area, which can be used for all types of conditions and become real tools for progressing on the ground.
Our two computer equipped classrooms allow us to carry out debriefings (videos, etc.) and theory lessons in a pleasant atmosphere.
A competent team
Our team has always been innovative in its teaching methods. We constantly question our teaching techniques in order to make them evolve according to our knowledge and new equipment, we discuss and harmonize our pedagogy during our team meetings throughout the year.
Our team is above all a team of instructors who are passionate about distance flying. Outside the courses, you will regularly see them in the air.
